Vette Candy Steering Wheel Installed....
I finally got my Vette Candy steering wheel installed today. I love the way it looks. When driving, it feels nice, but it feels huge. LOL I think that's just because it's so thick.
I gotta take some better interior shots, but for now...

That is a good looking steering wheel. It does look pretty thick - let us know how it feels once you have driven the car for a while.

Before I purchased mine, I got the opinions of two forum members that already purchased this wheel. They had nothing but good things to say. Although, in looking at photos, the bottom of their wheels actually doesn't look as thick as mine. (They actually have two different wheels. They call it D-Curve style and D-Premium style, but the two wheels are the same price and are very similar.)
I can understand subtle differences in products that are "made to order." It's like getting a couple burgers at your favorite burger place. You order ketchup and mustard on both, but one may have a bit more mustard.
I think I got a bit more mustard. LOL No complaints when driving home or out to dinner yesterday.
Here are the wheels of the two forum members I communicated with before purchase:

id definitely say its the one of the nicest wheel replacement ive seen so far for the C5
but in all honesty they seemed to have botched the proportions on yours , the bottom is just wayyy too thick and there is no reason for that
The other guys wheels look alot better, no offense
Its not enough to send it back but its enough to ask for a partial refund in my opinion
If their quality control is that far off between different wheels id never order form them
EDIT: from the front view its not all that bad, but I think it would still bother me a little bit, but nice wheel nonetheless

At this point, I'm happy. I think I'll see if the vendor wants to check out the thread.
