The Apsis, and DSV are really not noticable due to the fact that the bottom two spokes are too close together.
Even if the C6 wheel would fit, and it won't, the air bag would not work either. I, for one would get this Caravaggio 'D' wheel if it could be made to work.

the APSIS and DSV models have a flattened bottom, but as far as a wheel that allows you to maintain the airbad, those are the only "custom" options that are out there.
the C6 wheel question has been asked and i think the answer was the cost to make the spines work was too high.
I have seen people replace them with racing wheels that do not have a airbag, but I personally wouldnt do it unless it was a full out race car or a no street use show car.

Here is my wheel. I had the guy add extra padding to make it thicker. It is black leather/alcantara with yellow stitching.

It's a Raid steering wheel. I think it is a German company.

Here is a shop that specializes in Vettes in Germany, and they have done quite a few Raid wheel setups.

Here is the link to their wheel installs:

This is from VettEssentials at least 6 years ago and still looks and feels great! Payed $400 back then and sent my wheel back to them.

This is the Momo I put in about 5 years ago....
Pros....Everything!!!
Cons, no airbag, get a 5 or 6 point full race type harness too

Are you looking for a cosmetic change???? A smaller diameter for faster turning response??? Legal compliance with Federal safety regulations for passenger cars VS compliance with SCCA track requirements----airbag VS no airbag????? You need to define what you are looking for to get the advice that is correct for you.

I have the three spoke C6 wheel with paddle shifters. I want to modify it to have the radio controls on the steering wheel. Possible? Cost? Any vendors that have done this or is it not possible? Is it as easy as buying that type of wheel and replacing it. Or is there some serious wiring issues to hook into the radio?
