We have the ability to custom mold it to your specs at no extra cost.

Furthermore, you can buy absolutely risk free from us. If you are not 100% satisfied with our wheel, you can return it for a full refund of your purchase price with no questions asked. We encourage you to compare our products against those made by any other company, and you will see that we offer the best quality without the HUGE Corvette tax found elsewhere.

It looks like a fat girl in a bathing suit. Caravaggio looks like the cover girl of Sports Illustrated.

So true & thank you for the laugh! Great quote.

Go with Caravaggio, I did.

I guess I must be a chubby chaser because I love my DSV wheel. I am also thinking there must be a lot more like me.

I bought from Apsis and the wheel is great. BUT, I paid over $1300 for a wheel that I think DSV could have done for 1/2 that. The only reason I went with Apsis at the time is that it was the only vendor offering the leather airbag cover. No offense to Apsis, but I would go with DSV now. Carvaggio's work looks very nice also. Never bought anything from him, but DSV is probably the best bang for the buck.

A "little more" it costs equals to a full bolts on parts , but looks

Dsv looks outstanding and priced right

Default Stitching

All the vendors below do outstanding /excellent work with the D shaped wheels w/o Carbon fiber, but I've not yet seen is different stitching techniques showing the stitching and not just a pic of the wheel.

Apsis
DSV
Carravaggio

Details for me constitutes paying the price for the wheel you want...

These are some of the stitching styles that we can do on the steering wheel.

My wife doesn't get mad, she is proud of what she makes, since she is part of the DSV team. My wife made the pictured handles. So I am pretty sure she won't get mad . This is her with the needles.
