Hi Guys,

We are more active on C6 forum and rarely come to C5 forum so you may not be familiar with us yet.

Lately we introduce our beautiful Carbon D-Type Steering Wheel for C6 and get excellent response. We also get inquiry from some C5 customers.

We are thinking to make the D-Type Steering Wheel for C5 but we are not sure if C5 customers will be interested so we would like to run this poll. We like to hear your feedback.

The D-Type Steering Wheel is very sporty and more and more high end European sport cars are using it. Because we have to invest expensive mold then we use it to convert the stock C5 steering wheel to the sporty D-Type Steering Wheel, if we don't feel optimistic demand then it won't pay us to go for it.

The standard spec is---- Carbon on the top, left & right is perforated alcantara and bottom is solid alcantara.

If you like to have regular black leather instead of alcantara, we can make it for you too. If you don't want the carbon, we can make the whole wheel in alcantara or leather.

Since we don't have D-Type Steering Wheel for C5 yet, so we can only use the C6 D-type Steering Wheel to show you the concept.

Because C5 steering wheel has 4 spoke, so it will still have the 4 spoke but the bottom will be horizontal to ground so it will look like "D" shape. Please use some imagination.

Here are some C6 D-Type Steering Wheel pictures for your reference. Please let us know your opinions.

 

I would be interested in one in full alcantara...prices?

 

$$$???

 

With Carbon $999 + refundable core charge $250
Without Carbon $795 + core charge $250

 

nice!

 

I like itvery nice

 

Nice looking wheels. I have a VE wheel now and love it. I would like to see a bit more of a flat bottom like the Momo wheels.
I would have gone with a Momo wheel, but wanted to keep my airbag.

Good luck, nice product.

 

Thanks.

 

Thanks for thumb up.

 

If we make this D-Type SW for C5, then you can still use your existing airbag.

 

Having the wheel changed would be one job I'd leave to a professional.

That one looks too stock for my taste. Its not a big enough change to the stock wheel to justify $1000 price tag plus the cost of fitting.

I've seen nicer steering wheels offered as concepts here on the Forum that would have made me switch. JMHO

 

I think the shape of the center of the c5 wheel would allow them to make the wheel more flat on the bottom. The spokes on our wheels only connect on the sides, unlike the c6, after all. I wonder, though, if it would end up having an odd look to it. A concept picture would have to be shown for me and probably many other people to decide if they like the idea or not.

 

I agree. Flatter on the bottom would help justify the price tag for me. And a sketch would help too.

 

If you want to do something to make me jump on a new steering wheel please find a way to reduce the diameter of it! The steering wheel you offer for a C6 is very nice piece I love the thumb grip but for 900 I would like to see a more radical change in design.

 

Plus smaller diameter but that's not going to happen just recovering the stocker.

 

I really like that!!!!

 

Thanks, but not for me.

 

You folks make some beautiful carbon fiber products. It would be nice if you included prices on your web site. Personally, I'm always a little leary when I have to call to see how much something costs. It generally means the item is expensive and I can't afford it.

 

Our original site was built for wholesale purpose and that's why we don't post prices on purpose.

However, we are working on a new site that will be linked together with our existing site to have all price info and can accept online order. But it's still under construction. When it's done we will announce it on forum.

 

For the other wheel that you've seen, can you still use the airbag? Or you have to give up using airbag?
