Just installed new steering wheel...
 
I just installed my new flat top/flat bottom alcantara steering wheel plus shift knob and boot from VetteCandy. Great quality, great feel and thick rim to hold onto!

Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, as long as you love it congrats!

Personally I find it kind of hideous...not a big fan of "fuzzy" stuffed animal looking steering wheels and the shape looks very "bloblike."

not me but you sound very happy and that is what counts

:iagree:

Nice!........
 
I like the way you matched the 3 pieces. Nothing like personalizing your vette.
Sergio and the folks at Vette Candy do very nice work.:thumbs:

I actually have the "fuzzy" package and will be removing it all once my vehicle arrives.
It comes with the 2LT when you order comp seats with microfiber inserts. Oh, well...

Sweet, DownSouth Vettes makes a great wheel.

:iagree: prob wouldnt be as bad without that stripe down the center top :hide:

A bit surprised at the comments. I like it and like the centering stripe.

I'd like to drive it before I bought it though.

Looks like my bent tire rims after hitting a couple hundred potholes...

:iagree: I like the "d" bottom and had hoped the C7 had gone to that. Perhaps the wheel is a little thick but a drive would tell me.

Had the OEM "fuzzy" (fake alcantara) wheel and its feel and quality were well below acceptable and reason I replaced with real alcantara
leather. A standard high quality alcantara steering wheel came on my last foreign car and after you get used to it its hard to go back...at least for me.

Some reports state that flat bottom will be standard on 2016 C7's...time will tell.

May look odd but it does work well and significantly hightens the sense of occasion that you are driving something special...reason these
types appear on some high end foreign mega buck vehicles.

Do you think there's a demographic based opinion here?

Younger guys liking flat bottomed more and older guys liking the round wheel more? Or am I crazy?

Basing on aesthetics only of course...

Depends if the wheel is chrome or black.:D

Could be - I'm an old guy and think this steering wheel looks like it belongs to Shrek
