Default Flat Bottom Steering Wheel anyone?

A short while ago we introduced our new product - flat bottom steering wheel for C5 for those of you who are looking for more sporty feel in your Vettes

Please see photos below showing the difference between OEM wheel and our flatbottom one and let us know what you think:







The first wheels have already been delivered to their new happy owners. A few more will be completed and shipped next week.

Here's one installed in a happy customer's car already:



And, as we still have a few cores in our shop we're willing to offer you a special deal: 10% DISCOUNT for as long as the cores stock lasts

What do you think? Please see more on our flat bottom page: http://www.redlinegoods.com/C5fbwheel.php, make sure to check our color chart at http://www.redlinegoods.com/clrchart.php and as soon as you've picked your favorite colors and options, please message us for details on how to get the discount

Take care

Looks SUPER awkward in the first couple pics but looks pretty freaking SWEET in the last. Of course it's going to look a lot better but I'm just sayin. I just put in a Sparco flat bottom last night. Getting the stock wheel off was a huge B...

Well, it's actually not, the flat bottom wheels are a much more time-consuming product with lots of manual work involved and a part of the work is outsourced to a professional steering wheels fabricator therefore the discounts here cannot be as high as with other products.

Much nicer/modern looking than the stock 'Kenworth' sized wheel.

Why?...
Because of any mod that is done to a car, having a nicer SW wheel makes driving much more fun. Next to a manual shift ****, you look, handle, manipulate, feel...caress(?) your SW the total time you are in your car! The the nicer the shape, thickness, better leather etc. the better the driving experience.
Why do Ferarri, Porsche, Lambo etc. have such beautiful SW's?
Have you ever seen any of the above mentioned cars?

I never understood why some people question/criticize a mod compared to the $$$$ "value" of the car. Non car-guys or Euro-snobs perhaps?

And a few shots of Corvette flat bottom wheels (not exactly the C5 ones though but the top quality stays the same ) from happy owners





What do you think? We still have a few cores available at discounted rate so make sure to grab them while the sale lasts!
