Default Another Awesome RedlineGoods Flat Bottom Steering Wheel!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share, another happy RedlineGoods customer. I also have their ebrake, **** boot and console cover, all quality itmes. I had a complete aftermarket setup in my basement ready to install, but since this is a street car, I decided keeping the airbag was the way to go. It so nice to have a quality wheel, does not side through your hands, the leather and padding feels great! Do not hesitate to grab one, Jack and the Redline team did a great job! Well worth the coin in my opinion!

Pardon my dirt, the car needs a good cleaning...

I bought a steering wheel, e-brake and shift boot, center console cover, and steering wheel last year from Redline Goods.
I wish the flat bottom steering wheel option had been available then, but I'm still very happy with all of it.
Great products!

Yep, same here! I also have their e-brake handle as well. They do make great products that won't break the bank.

Looks Good. I like my wheel from another company, but like Redline goods said in another thread some makers of these wheels build up the bottom and the wheel ends up being a little bigger.

Just out of curiosity-can you throw a tape measure on yours? Top center to bottom center? Just curious.

Yes I can measure it. I opted for extra padding, my honda accord steering wheel is thicker than our oe wheels. Nice grip and feel with the extra padding

Nice new wheel!

Your taste seems to have improved over that wheelskin( with Frankenstein stitching).

First of all, HUUUUUGE THANKS to @Joepro95 for sharing his wheel and experience with us. We're honored to have a chance to work with people like you

And a few words to everyone who was kind enough to take part in the discussion:

Well, they are available now And so are REPEAT CUSTOMER DISCOUNTS so make sure to message me for what deal I can offer you on a D_shaped wheel

That's justthe way Joepro95 wanted his steering wheel. You can skip the padding f course it you're fine with OEM steering wheel thickness

Now a little bit more seriously we have just bought another ten C5 cores so we're willing to keep the $595 price instead of regular $695 for the next 10 D_shaped steering wheels for C5. But NO LONGER than until end of March! So if you're interested, please make sure to confirm your order while the sale lasts


Take care

Jack

Here's mine from Redline, but it does have a little extra padding (old pics). This thickness fits my grip perfectly. Highly recommend RG products!

for anyone following this thread, check out the console cover I installed from RGs. You can see I already had the lid cover, just added the console cover to match! It came out well for an amateur installer like myself!
