Default ZR1 steering wheel

Has anyone thought about swapping out to the ZR1 steering wheel? I tried looking for part # but nothing yet. Probably pretty pricey.

Saw it today. Looks the same as the one on my Z06 except it has glossy CF up top and bottom. I honestly like mine better. To each their own.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I feel the stock Z wheel looks better with just the subtle matte CF at the bottom. Add a stitched air bag cover and it's perfect, I think!

Idk what Chevy was or is thinking with that wheel. Why does it not have the ZR1 at the bottom like the Z06 does? I believe it's the same wheel you can get as an option in any C7 as of 2018?

I understand the high gloss finish, any little Nick would be visible on the matte. But I do love that look on my dash. Closer to the raw forged carbon look. The glossy carbon fiber is too bling for me.

^^^ Like an after thought. Cheaper to do it that way than have a ZR specific wheel. On chevy's top of the line model. I swear these things make me laugh. Tack on another 100 bucks ti the msrp and make it right.

I like mine better than the ZR unit. It's aftermarket, and likely cheaper.
