Default My new steering wheel from Dsvettes

I was at the AC corvette show and met with Gerry and his crew. Great bunch of guys. When I saw this wheel I knew I must have it, and to boot they did the install for me. I love the way it looks and feels.

Very cool. Looks great.

I was also at the show Saturday, and ordered some new mods from DSV. Hope to have them soon.

I see their pics on the forum, but to see their craftsmanship in person it truly amazing. Lino is a great guy. I was talking to him for quite a while. Add them to the list of outstanding forum vendors.

I agree, Lino was great, he is the one who did the install. He was also the one who painted Gerry orange car.

That looks great. I was checking out the black and cobalt red wheel they had there and was really liking it UNTIL I heard how much it was AND I had to give them my wheel along with all that cash. It was a very well made wheel, I just thought it was awfully expensive since I was also giving them my wheel in exchange.

I ended up passing on it. I guess I'm cheap.
I'll spend that money towards chrome wheels that I want.

YOUR wheel is very cool..

Caught the sale that was 599 with a core return of 200 so once the core is returned, they send you a check back for 200 so you end up paying 399. Considering Apsis D style wheel is 200 more and Caravaggio from what I heard is closer to the 1k mark and it's not a D style, this was the best bang for the dollar.

Nice. Great deal. I'll have to add this to the list of future mods.

Thanks

Looks SWEET! Just got mine installed last weekend, LOVE IT!



How long did it take to receive the $200 check for your core funds? I just sent my wheel back overnight on Monday.

I called them yesterday, they just got back to Texas from the show in AC this past weekend. They were not at the office and told me to call back today so I'll have an answer for you later this evening when I get home from work. My core was delivered to them on Monday. How do you like your seats?

Awesome, thanks for the reply.

I love the seats. The support is awesome and they are actually very comfortable on long drives for me. I drive the car to work every nice day and have no issues. A little more effort is needed for entry and exit, but that's about it.

Received mine that day because he installed it, and took my old wheel.

Talked with Gerry today, they received my core and mailed my check out today. Because they were out of town they got backed up a bit. Just in time I need a radiator for my DD
