I have a steering wheel from Vette Essentials, but it is the stock one with their leather treatment. I am assuming you want to see something other than the stock wheel.

Try looking at the APsis web site - they have some nice looking steering wheels.

Dallas Custom Steering Wheel recovered mine with thicker padding, black leather on top and bottom, black alcantara on the sides, and yellow stitching. A very reasonable price for a wheel of this magnitude .

Pat @ American Hydrocarbon has the Hydrocarbon steering wheel enhancements in different patterns available. I ordered one in the '08 GM pattern that should arrive on Friday. Makes the wheel look like a custom piece!

That is a really nice looking wheel, I love how you keep the factory airbag, is that a stock wheel just modded by down south? I assume that you sent you old one in as a core?

Since you are a forum member they will most likely give you a discount.
I will send you a PM.
