    I bought a used blue comfort wheel and spray dyed it "bright blue" to better match my car. We shall see if it stays on. I did a lot of light coats, and it is blue underneath, so not much of an exposure either way.

    There are repros available, I think...not sure of the quality, and he seems to have lots of colors:

    I bought mine off a board member before I saw these, and they are not that "soft" any more, so I might get one of these repros if the dye comes off in a year or so or if Duane doesn't make me a blue one...just kidding!

    I am removing the "wood" 16" wheel that came with the car...I personally do not like wood or fake wood--not sure which--steering wheels. Just my preference, but I will keep the one that came with the car. REAL C2 wood (teak) Corvette wheels sell for from 2000-3000 depending upon the condition:

    etc., etc....

    Cheers,

    Now, Duane, you know I asked for another one a LONG time ago...

    I have my sport wheel wrapped with the Wheelskins leather cover.

    I LOVE that Wheelskins option! That will protect the grain, and still look GOOD!
