Hi Corvette Forum Users
My name is Mike Kirby and i am glad to say we are manufacturing C- 6 custom d shape steering wheels in the USA. Also have some custom re wraps for 2012/ 2013 corvettes as well as c-5. I have attached some pics of the steering wheels we produce. MCS applies the same polyurethane injection process as the big three to acheive a repeatable product with fit and function not being short cut. Please check out my web site to see some of the other products we make and produce. MCS web site is
[www.mikescustomsteering.com] I wanted to let everyone know that we are very passonate about our products and hope you guys will consider MCS for your Steering wheel upgrades . I will update the corvette community as we go down this path of expanding and growing in the Bowling Green Ky. area. Please come by and see our booth at the 31st corvette homcoming in BG,KY in mid july.
thank you very much,
MCS

I have also seen these wheels up close in Bowling Green this year, and they look and feel excellent! If I were to replace my wheel, this is the one I would get. Good luck with it!

Default Mike @ MCS

Thank guys very much,
I did purchase the fall out of ACE's manufacturing equipment. This has been a very enjoyable product to try and get re launched, since i enjoyed so much working with this corvette product for ACE. We purchased 6 shape changed steering wheels in the buy out and now MCS has over 75 c-6 shape change wheels in inventory which have been produced and manufactured by MCS. MCS is working with a 2 to 3 week build time unless a special or exotic hide is needed. We also produce a neat c-6 auto boot and **** to match our steering wheels which has the plastic pieces glued in and the elastic band installed as well ( will need your core back). Please take a look of a couple pics of our booth at the Corvette Gold meet 2012 in the middle of set up.

Thank you guys again for the nice comments about the products
Mike Kirby

Also for the shows we attend this year we will install at the shows for free on pre orders for the c-6 2006-2011 year models. The next show will be the Corvette Home coming BG.KY in Mid July.
Thanks alot ,

Can you get the carbon leather? There's only one US distributor of it and he wont sell single hides.

I am not for sure . I have quite a few suppliers with a large inventory . The issue might be the formability of the carbon since the area of the d shape is critical to allow for enough stretch to look acceptable. I have only seen the carbon vinyl from KATZ KIN. If you have a sample i can try and get it match up.
Thanks Mike

What I'm referring to isn't a vinyl, it's a stamped leather.

Only people I know that have it is a UK company that supplies the factory carbon leather available in the BMW M series in Europe. They have ONE guy here in the US (in Cali) that will distribute it.
I've talked to him once, but when I said I only wanted one hide he sort of scoffed and that was pretty much the end of the conversation. You, being a distributor, would likely fare better.

PM me if you want to discuss.

Second that, saw products on display at this year's Bloomington Gold event, excellent workmanship and quality; topnotch.
