Default dsvette vs apsis for Steering wheels

I am in the market for a custom steering wheel price aside for guys who have seen the quality of both which is higher quality?

Any advise would be helpful. I have used DSVETTE in the past but am told APSIS is superior. Who has seen both steering wheels?

DSV and APSIS are both leaders in this field, My wifes is an Apsis Carbon Leather with Black Alcantara and Tan stitching with complete finished air bag cover, I haven't seen one as nice in my opinion. Having said that, it also has C/F spokes from DSV (Vette Candy) and they are amazing... I might take her car out of the garage this weekend, so if I do I will take some real pics of it, I just have iPhone pics in a darkish garage and it doesn't do them justice at all.

Maybe you would come off as rude too, if you weren't using your native tongue, and speaking a new language. I think a lot of things get blown out of proportion in the Apsis threads. A little patience for people who aren't born English speakers is always nice.

Bottom line Apsis makes super high quality CUSTOM products for Corvettes, and he stands behind his products. For me that is the most important thing. I'd rather have a great surgeon with a so-so bedside manner than vice versa.

I have bought from them (not a steering Wheel though) and their product was excellent and the customer service was great.

Let me tell the group I have purchased from both and no issues with Lino or Jersey and both have great quality. However, I have never seen either wheel in person so that is the reason for the question.

I love the APSIS above and that is where I am leaning as I just confirmed DSVETTE does not make an airbag cover. Planning to order next week

I have numerous leather pieces from Apsis and can tell you they are worth the money. I always have great experiences with their customer service and with Jersey. Definitely not the cheapest. But, if you are very picky they are the way to go. I also have to say that Caravaggio is probably top dog in quality but that is at the next level for price and quality and waiting times. Hopefully in the future I will be ordering my steering wheel from him.

Speaking of English skills, try spell check next time.

Cost, Quality and Customer Service are 3 things that drive me to buy from someone.

I chose DSVettes for the fact there Quailty of Leather, Carbon fiber, Alcantara andwork was fandamntastic. Their Cost was well lets face it, its usually ½ of what others are charging and lastly Customer service. I've met Gerry and Lino and have spoke with them on many occasions. They have been nothing but upstanding to me and to my wife. I can't say that about some of the others. For those reasons I chose and will continue to choose DSVettes for ALL of my work.

Picture below is similar to the wheel I ordered.




Current steering wheel below :

I had a DSVettes wheel in my C5 and loved it. Their customer service is great. Another thing to consider is right now Apsis is having a 20% off sale on the steering wheels.
