Default Two-Tone Steering Wheels

I'm looking into buying a two-tone steering wheel for my vette (black/oak) from either Vetteessential or West Coast Corvette and I'd love to see what everyone out there has. Post some pics if you have them. Thanks everyone.

I just did a wheel skin mod from Mid America avoiding the expensive V.E. cost and core charge. This mod is $39 instead of $$$$. Sorry it is red/black but gives you a idea of the change and what two tones can do for your interior. Here is the link and pics:

Great looking wheel... I really like the look of only having the bottom colored. Its subtle and follows the factory design w/ the rest of the interior perfectly

I went with wheelskins and am delighted with the way it turned out. 40 bucks and I got to keep my steering wheel. Not to mention it beefed up the size of the wheel. The grip feels awesome now.

Nate's car is Tight-Almighty.

I did a Wheel Skins cover until I figure out what I want to do next.
I too like the way the diameter of the wheel increased.

I like the price of the West Coast Corvette wheels.

Here is my Wheel Skins cover.

I have a two tone steering wheel from Vette Essentials (black/red) - awesome quality and really stands out in the interior.
