Default Compliments to DS Vettes

I just wanted to send along my positive compliments to the folks at DS Vettes. Sergio was great to work with in terms of deciding how I wanted my custom wheel wrapped. He even made some suggestions about the shape of the wheel that I didn’t know was available. He kept me updated as things progressed, let me know when it was shipped, and when it would arrive. I am very happy with the quality of the work they did.

Looks great. Matches the rest of the kalahari beautifully. Is that a 3lt or did you add the color on the dash?

It was a 2LT. I ordered the Kalahari pieces from Cultrag and added them myself.

Great looking wheel. I like this wheel because it has a flat bottom and almost flat top. The wheel also looks better than the 16 OEM wheel because it is smaller. Went to a NEW car show where the manufactures provided their 16-17 year cars and noticed a lot of flat bottom steering wheels and the overall wheels appeared to be getting smaller. Spoke to a BMW rep who said their steering wheels were trending smaller. Thanks Sergio for a beautiful wheel in Ash Gray.

Default Best place in Augusta to get your wheel installed

Mark,

I see you are from North Augusta. When it comes time to have your new wheel installed I recommend Bryndon Dukes (Corvette Tech) at Master Chevrolet in Aiken. They did a good job swapping out all the electronics from my stock wheel on to the wheel from Sergio and were very reasonably priced.

Are you a member of Casual Corvettes in Augusta?

Paul
