Holy Cow! What a nice piece. Will install it Monday afternoon and take pics.

It looks a 100 times better than depicted in the catalog. Bolts on and uses the stock horn button. :)

I look forward to hearing (and seeing) how that project turns out. I believe that is the 15" wheel featured in some catalogues. With my seat foams and a 16" wheel the cockpit is pretty tight in the thigh area. I was thinking of going to a 14" or 15" version.

looks nice, isn't it slippery? I hate slippery steering wheels, I have a leather orginal one and a smaller grant that I may reinstall since it's thicker and lies better in the hand.

I ordered one last year and really like it...it looks much better than the stock plastic wheel. Plus it's smaller (the stock plastic wheel's diameter is too big).

Is this the wheel available through Corvette America for $139? I was considering this one as well and putting the 16" wheel away for save keeping. I like the looks of this wheel too. It does look better than in the catalog pictures. :cheers:

Slippery - I wondered about that when I bought it, but have not noticed anything at all. Never think about it.

I was thinking it might be slick as well. The backside is knotched to match your finger grip, so as Larry said not going to be an issue.

Paul: It is 14 inch and would go great with your interior.

BTW, the one that I have has black spokes as opposed to the bright ones above. I will take a pic of it in the garage and post later.

Mine came from http://mamotorworks. com but several vendors have them.
