Default My New Vette Candy Two Tone Steering Wheel

I talked to Sergio at Vette Candy a few weeks ago and described what I had in mind. I didn't want the 'D' shaped wheel but I did want the two tone, and in a little different design than the ones I've been seeing. I just got it yesterday and I think it looks fantastic - exactly what I wanted at a great price. Here it is installed on my '15 3LT A8. The car is Shark Gray and the interior light gray and black. I added the logo floor mats in black to give it a more balanced look. What do you think?

BTW, I've just been told by Sergio that this is the first one of these (round wheel with these alternate color panel locations) that Vette Candy has made. So if you want this style, just ask for the Jet Vet model!

Looks outstanding, nice custom job. I also added black mats to my light grey interior.

Why doesn't GM offer a two-toned steering wheel instead of just the boring basic black wheel?

Boy do I like that. He did a great job for you. When will he be making more and how much does he charge for the wheel? Does he use yours ?
