Default Custom Steering Wheels

I currently own a '11 GS and recently purchased a '02 coupe to play with. One mod I'd like to do is install a custom steering wheel..... but I'm not having much luck find anything other than cheesy covers. Does anyone have suggestions/ options? Any advice would be appreciated. Pics welcome. Thx.

Look at vendors like Apsis or Caraviggio - they both make custom steering wheels.

The new Apsis steering wheels are very nice. I wish these had been available when I did this mod a couple of years ago.
I went with a Redline Goods at the time.

Too bad no prices on web site. Must be very expensive.

I got my D-bottom steering wheel from DSV or Down South Vettes. Very happy!

I am running NRG HUB, Quick release, as well as NRG Lock
Have a 2 Ohm Resistor installed in place of airbag and have No lights.

I now can easily switch between Wood GT Grant wheel or Nardi 330mm Deep corn

I run a D shape steering wheel from Redline Goods. All
custom wheels.
I was pleased with the results.

No. The seats and most of the other trim came from Vette Essentials. I had Vette Essentials supply some extra gray leather that I provided to DSV so the steering wheel trim would match.

You might also try Mike's Custom Steering Wheels located in Bowling Green, Ky. They do some excellent wheels. That's all they do.

I’ve been considering a wheel from Redline Products. They will make it with an Alcantara cover. Does anybody out there have experience with an Alcantara wheel on a Vette or anything else? I hate spending that kind of money without being able to touch and feel it first.

I worked a deal on a d steering wheel in the material I wanted.
I really like my steering wheel. It takes a long time to actually
receive the wheel. They make them in Poland. Mine shipped
directly to me after 3 months.
Good luck.
