Default C6 Upgraded Steering wheel thread

I am looking for options on which steering wheel to upgrade my C6ZO6 with. Looking for pictures of upgraded steering wheel pics.

Thanks,
Chris

This isn't the greatest picture, but it's the only thing I've got on hand.
It's a DSVettes wheels, all black leather, black stitching. I love it, it's SO much better than my old Cobalt steering wheel

2012 steering wheel. I just grabbed this picture from a google search, but it's the same thing. Replace the ZR1 logo on the center with the standard Corvette flags.



Not the greatest steering wheel out there, but you can get it for about $200 shipped brand new. I've had mine a few days and it's already well worth it.

Caravaggio makes the nicest looking one IMO.

Not cheap but just fantastic quality. I love mine. Real Carbon Fiber steering wheel spoked by APSIS.

+1 on Caravaggio. I have the same wheel as above with linen stitching, its looks way better than the picture in person and feels even better still!!

All very nice choices guys! Apsis is close to me on Long Island so I may go there since I am looking for a few other interior mods. 2012 wheel is nice too, but I'm not sure about the chrome strips around the 3-pods. Can they be taken off and painted a different color?

I am partial to the DSVettes d-style wheel. Quality leather and color choices.

Never understood the airbag hate. It is a piece of black plastic that houses the airbag. You can cover it in leather if it offends that much.

No one has ever looked at my car and said nice steering wheel but the airbag is hideous.

Look it's plastic also

Hiorhawa, I totally agree. I owned a Supra TT and although I loved the car and I liked the interior, the steering wheel looked like it came out of a minivan. Only steering wheel I actually liked was in the GTR, but that was short lived.

ZO ZICK, please post a pic if you don't mind.

The aftermarket steering wheel really makes the interior pop.
