Default Custom Steering wheels

Just picked up this bad boy. Should be fun for the road racing! It def will clean up and finalize my interior modding. Replaced the stock "blah" looking wheel.

Its leather on the sides and top and suade on the lower "d" part. the wheel has also been thickened so to give it a good grip feel. also, the ergo grips at 10/2 and 8/4 make it awesome for aggressive driving. We'll see.

Thoughts?

Looks good to me...

Down South Vettes did mine and I think yours. I did the Alcantara (suede) in the grips areas.

^^^
you are right, it's a dsv wheel. I somehow thought it was a apsis

anyways, that suede on urs looks awesome!!!! I didn't want all suede bc my car is a vert with lots of top down time. I thought the suede would fade out quick. Plus I race so I want the leather to hold up to the constant usage.

Hey AJ,

Alcantara is some neat stuff. It cleans up really easilly with damp cloth. It won't fade to that's not an issue. Google it. It's pretty cool stuff. I got my wheel free when DSV was introducing their stuff and ran a lottery on CF. I won.
