Default New Steering Wheel...Thanks DSVettes!!!!

Got my new wheel in the mail today. Wow! Beautiful!

Went with their D-Style wheel. Black leather on the sides/black alcantara on the top and bottom with black stitching and Carbon fiber control caps.

The quality is 2nd to none and I am very excited to put it on. On a side note, when I called DS 10 days ago, I advised them that I have a show coming up on May 1 and really need the wheel by then. They said no problem. I was a bit leary since promises are easier to keep than deliver...but obviously not for DSVettes. It came with a week to spare!!! Thanks again DSVettes! Excellent Work, Excellent Price, Excellent Service...That's a three thumbs up shout out!!

Ok quick question. Is that exactly what they sent you or did you have to supply anything? I know there is a core refund but I don't have an 06+ wheel. Is all I need is that an airbag, clock spring, or do I need to get a complete wheel first? But congrats, I love those wheels!!!

What you see in the pic is exactly what I received, I did not supply anything. I will send back my wheel and control caps for the core refund and I will reuse my center cover piece and guts. Give them a call and I'm sure they will answer all of your inquires.

Great looking wheel. I received mine yesterday and will be posting pics of it installed, hopefully in a day or so. And DSVettes is the best!

Thank you. What are your wheel specs?? I will probably do the install this weekend and also take a few after shots.

Thanks and agreed. I think the combo is pretty timeless and would look great with any exterior color. My Z is black.

My '08 is Ebony and Linen 4LT interior. The stock steering wheel is all black. I went with ebony on the sides, linen on the top and bottom. They don't yet have carbon fiber to match the 4LT interior as I wanted to have the control caps, door latch button covers, shifter cover and e-brake button done in matching carbon fiber. No go - but they are going to get it in and I'll order then. When I talked with Leo he suggested leather control covers to match the ebony. I'm going with that. It should be pretty nifty.

Like yours but with c/f top, bottom, and caps to match my console. Hopefully I'll install it tomorrow and will post pics also. I can't wait. Hurry and get yours on.

Very sharp, nice choice

DS Vettes are the best when it comes to customer service and quality product.

Here's mine

dang it, you guys need to stop!!!!
Everytime I see one of these links, I keep wanting to reach for the phone and credit card. There's about 3-4 things I'm wanting for the interior, and that D wheel is just cool.....

Thats awesome man! Glad to see the combo too because I ordered a center console today in the same. Black alcantara on top with ebony leather on the sides with red stitching. I plan on doing the rest of my interior in the same when $$$ allows. Cant wait to get it.

Get notified of new replies

To New Steering Wheel...Thanks DSVettes!!!!

Quality doesn't come cheap and it's well worth their prices. And I hope that I never find out!

Quality shows! Yours looks great.

Promises are easy to make and harder to keep---but only for some. NOT DSV.

I actually told them to take their time since I bought mine in the large group purchase of Super Bowl Weekend early in Feb. I said, I don't need it until the third week of March some 5+ weeks later.

But there it was 2 weeks later. What a great bunch of people in that company.

Your wheel looks great, Mike. Just wait until you get it on your car - you're going to love it. Very nicely done!
