Love it. If I owned a C7, that's the wheel I'd buy for it.

What is the advantage of a D bottom wheel? I don't race but I see a lot of people raving over it. Whats the deal?

Yay that's mine... Can't wait to put it on! Looks awesome!

I have a thin build and flat 6 pack stomach thank you very much!

I got it because it is a bit thicker, I like the shape and looks sportier.

Oh, and it gives more "head room".

I can not remember when I first saw a wheel that was flat on the bottom. Maybe a 1960 Chrylsler ...it was then refered to as the "Fat Man" ..just style a matter of personal taste..not worth the money, but that is just my opinion...

What color combination could you produce/recommend for a Torch Red with Kalahari interior?

John@Caravaggio Corvettes

I would do the black with Kalahari to match the interior.

John@Caravaggio Corvettes

I don't get it either. To me, they are just annoying, trying to go hand over hand on an irregularly shaped wheel.

That wheel looks great.

Can I assume mine is already in route John?

Originally, flat bottomed steering wheels were designed to make it easier get into Italian exotic sports cars. The tight cabins dictated this.


I like them-to me, the flat bottomed steering wheel says "exotic". This car is worthy of the "exotic" label.

On a Sports car it is VERY rare you have to go hand over hand, I can not recall the last time I have done so in any of my Sports cars, lock to lock would be the only time you would need to do this, how often does this happen?

I had a D wheel on my Audi, I liked the way it looked, but other than that I did not see much benefit.

Agreed... in any type of fast driving/racing hand over hand doesn't happen. It is rare your hands leave 9 and 3 and, if they do, the contoured grip is useful.

The D wheel, IMO, is good for allowing you to keep the steering wheel lower in your lap for better control without bumping your knees on shifting,etc. Useful on the track.

That and it looks cool

Hand over hand driving is for Walmart parking lots
