Default My new DS Vettes Steering Wheel (pics)

Got my wheel about 2 weeks ago and had it installed but hadn't had a chance to take pics. I finally did that today. I think the color combo looks great in my 4LT. It feels good driving too.

Leno, thanks for your help and suggestion for the leather wrapped pieces over the radio buttons. I really like that as it's very classy.

Happy Memorial Day everyone. Stay safe on the roads and thanks to all of our military guys for their duty.

Takes $$$$. It's coming. I'm also waiting for them to get the carbon fiber pieces that match the '08 4LT to replace my e-brake button, shifter piece and the door latch covers.

Very nice. Definitely a very unique color combo.

By the way, his name is Lino...not Leno....unless it was Jay Leno.

Sweet wheel! What's funny is, I had ordered the newest wheel from DS Vette's in that same scheme (Cashmere on top and bottom, ebony on the sides), and I did it because I didn't want to get the cashmere dirty. Well, after driving around all day yesterday, I noticed that I always drive with my hand on top of the wheel!! So i called and changed the cashmere to the inside only of the sides of the wheel.

It does look good on the top and bottom though!

I got something very similar from them a while back. You really can't go wrong with any of the combination's.

You know, I drove around for a week before I ordered it trying to decide the same thing. I thought I drove holding the sides mostly. Now that it's on, I find myself holding the top as well. That's what leather cleaner is for!

What are the button/spoke caps on that wheel? Hard to tell form the picture, I'm about to place an order.
