Default Show us your after market steering wheel

Hey guys and gals I know there's other threads out there but the most recent one I found was 3 years ago. I'm currently in the market for a D style wheel. I'd love to see what you guys have done. If you could provide your wheel type, options, vendor and price if you're willing it would assist me greatly and let others see what you've done. Plus you get a chance to show off, who doesn't like that?

I'd like to see some as well. I wonder how hard it is to change the steering wheel with the airbag and all....

Very easy to change them. Half hour job.

Not sure who makes this wheel. Bought it used although it had never been installed.

Looks awesome! I really like it because it looks good with the stock airbag cover. Sometimes the stock cover looks out of place but yours looks great. That's what I'm looking for because I don't want to pay another $400 for a leather airbag cover. Thanks for posting.

Does anybody know what's going on with DSVettes or Vette Candy as I guess they're called now? I've tried emailing them, messaging and commenting through their FB page and nothing. No response at all. The email system on their website does not work. There's 2 phone numbers on that site as well with names, I guess I'll try those tomorrow.

realcanuk, are those spoke covers you have real crabon fiber or the "carbon look" covers? I'm only asking because I don't want real CF, I'd much rather have the cheaper carbon look stuff to match the center console fake stuff from the factory. Thanks.

They are covers (overlays) but are made of real carbon fiber. They match the console perfectly which if is an 08 model. Different years seem to have different patterns.
Got them from Apsis.

This is the DSV "D" shaped wheel for my 05. I spoke with
Sergio last week on the phone numbers listed in the website. May just be busy with all of the blk Friday orders. Its definitely worth it imo.


Half Nappa leather, half suede.

That really looks awesome. They got in touch with me today, thank you.

Thanks. I should have specified my interior is red and black. I'm trying to figure out if it's torch, cobalt, or some other type of red. Here's some pics, it's an 08 Z-51 base model.
