High quality steering wheel?
Looking for a nice quality carbon fiber steering wheel.
Would like
matte carbon fiber that matches the oem interior trim option
Red stitching
leather horn pad
oem sizing
not a dealbreaker but a z06 badge
I say oem sizing because I’ve seen a lot of aftermarket wheels have larger grips for your hand at the 10 and 2 position that look kind of goofy to me.
Your recommendations please. Pictures are even better. Caravaggio looked good but the wheel looked a bit big.

Why would I replace my oem wheel with another one? I want something a bit more quality and nicer to look at/feel

There are just a handful of options so asking other's opinions/seeing what they have.

APSIS is one to look at for all the boxes you want to tick off. However, expect to pay two arms, and four legs. You will also have to supply your airbag unless you can find a core or he happens to have one. If you supply yours, expect your car to be out of service for quite a while as his stuff is made in Vietnam.

Your description reads like the one I installed from Caravaggio.
