Default Aftermarket Steering Wheels??

Is anyone aware of an aftermarket steering wheel for a C5? Im looking to get a new steering wheel that has a smaller diameter that the stock one. if so, can you steer me in the right direction.

thanks

I'm interested as well - but must have a airbag and be plug-n-play.

Vette Ess. aka Ken King makes the highest quality wheels for our cars.
They can come in any custom color you can dream up. He is making me a one off leather/suede combo.

Yes, Ken does make a great product, but Juice was asking about a smaller diameter wheel, and I believe that Ken simply uses the stock wheel when he recovers them, so this won't help Juice....

Juice, I've never heard of an off-the-shelf, plug-and-play aftermarket steering wheel WITH an airbag for the C5; obviously eliminating the airbag from the equation is a different story.

You can get any steering wheel to fit (aftermarket) to fit. As long as you have the right adapter to fit to the spline on the shaft. Of course you eliminate the airbag.

As mentioned, you'd lose the airbag...so not something that is made except for racing...then you can use pretty much anything you want...they just bolt on in the center...
