Default Steering Wheel options...

Is there ANY alternative to the 4 spoke steering wheel on the C5?

Yes, i've seen the flat bottom wheels, wrapped in alcantara, wrapped in colored leathers, 1/2 carbon fiber, 3/4 carbon fiber, airbrushed carbon fiber, snake skin, deer skin, napa leather, dakota leather, oak trees, Dolce Gabana, etc!

I recall reading the C6 2006+ 3 spoke does NOT fit our C5...Is there anything 3 spoke that looks cool and retains airbags out there?

Do I have to buy a stock C5 wheel, strip it, cut 2 spokes and weld a single bottom spoke to make my own 3 spoke wheel? I'm giving it serious thought as a winter project..

About the only company I know of that sells aftermarket steering wheels with an airbag is a German company called Raid. See pic:

Here is a shop that specializes in Vettes in Germany, and they have done quite a few Raid wheel setups.

Here is the link to their wheel installs:

Grant makes a bunch of airbag steering wheels, in both 3 and 4 spoke designs: http://www.grantproducts.com/product...bag-solutions/

Can't say that I've actually seen one installed though.

And now I see why: they don't seem to have an application for the C5. My mistake - I saw all the Bowtie logos and just ASSumed there was one for the Vette.

nevermind

Jason! That's exactly what I'm looking for.
Is that a 320 340 or 365mm?

You know I am not sure. I want to say 320mm, but don't quote me on that .
