Hello,

Corners of bottom look too sharp, need some rounding. I like your D wheel better.

I agree with others that said round the bottom outer corners.

We also have the same opinion regarding the rounding of it on the bottom. We will modify that and have pictures early next month with the modified wheel .

I also think it would be a good thing if you could round the edges completely so that the "feel" of the flat portion is similar (but obviously not the same) as the rest of the wheel. I realize this will take more labor to do it, but it might be worth it.

If I have one very, very small criticism of the wheel I bought, it is that when I do get to the bottom of the wheel it feels odd to me.

Glad you are in agreement. Not too much! That's my feedback. Otherwise, gorgeous. Already have the armrests, and console cover on order. Steering wheel my next move.

Beautiful work!

Looks great. Agree with others to round off the corners. I had been thinking of your "D" wheel but thought that it was not enough of a change.

I have already replaced my stock wheel with two (2) of your other wheel designs . Then....out comes the latest and greatest. Feels like every time I catch up, you put out another awesome product! Keep up the good work!

Looks great but a little too flat. Looks like the bottom was cut off with a a table saw. I concur that if you round the corners it will look better and feel better in the hands.

Looking forward to seeing the revised design.


It's been a few months since I bought something from you. Looks like that will change soon.

Will DSVettes be at Strictly Corvettes show again in Atlantic City in 2011?
