Extra thick 2012 wheel with genuine alcantara & special red stitching to match the centennial edition alcantata shift **** and ebrake handle.

That's the answer I got for years. So now I'm making my own with nicer stitching and thicker diameter options and a bunch of custom options! It's a lot more money but it's a lot of labor too.

I still have not received an update on my order from GM Parts Direct, but i'm afraid that's the same answer im going to get. What other options anyone knows of a nice steering wheel upgrade that is not so expensive?

Just give up. Been there, done that for several years. You might be able to find them used but when I found a few the alcantara looked really worn.

Thanks!
So be glad you are on backorder, 2006 has a different plug than 2007-2013 so it isn't a direct fit. I did the swap on my 2011 grand sport, no problem. For the 2006 z06 I ordered a black wheel for a 2013 manual transmission car with radio controls only no bluetooth and just figured they wouldn't work but I was ok with that... the connector is different. I think it could be fixed with a change to the clockspring wiring harness but that seems like too much work.

It's been almost 4 years, but I think I got information from Cultrag about connectors, clock springs etc.

Thanks! I’ve since swapped it into my Carbon Z06 and painted the spokes/bottom a different color to match my interior.
