Sorry for delay flycastinguy....
ATI kit with Carbon fiber backing plate quick release.
I forgot which actual wheel I have, but it's got little thumb-juts to help keep a solid grip on it. I've never once had a problem with it slipping.
The C5 has the old school GM style splines, the C6's are different.

If you are just interested in the carbon fiber plate you can get flat panels from DragonPlate.

Here is my removable wheel solution for about $150 bucks summit racing catalog using these grant parts and a momo wheel for another $150 bucks
Cool thing is that it is easy to make an aluminum spacer to change the hub height too if you want to.

How much slop is there in these splined couplers and do they wear and become sloppy over time? I've been doing a little reading about TEKNIQ AutoSport's removable steering wheel adapter for race cars (http://www.tekniqauto.com/US/snapoff/snapoff.htm) which uses two tapered pins rather splines to couple of the steering wheel to the steering shaft. One downside is that it takes two hands to removing the steering wheel.

I dont think I'm convinced that those pins are a stronger option then the splines.. seems like you could bend or snap those with a medium amount of force. (however, I'm not an engineer and Im sure they are totally safe) I'd like to see the rear of the backplate that attaches to the spline.
All this being said, I've never tried the pin-based system so I don't know how good it is. Also, I don't know if they make a hub adapter for our cars (although they say they can adapt to Momo hubs). It does look like they allow a horn although some rewiring is probably needed.
My real intent for bringing up this other product was really to ask if others have problems with slop/backlash in their removable steering couplers. Either new or after some use.

The grant quick release is one of the best one's I"ve used. Almost no play. That being said in my old race car I had a very loose quick release, but once on track it was completely un-noticable. The ATI 6 bolt to 3 bolt adapter is pretty long and sets the wheel in the stock location. I prefer it even closer so I added a spacer. Using any of the commonly available 3-6 adapters will more the wheel forward a couple inches.
