Swap steering in ZL1

Anyone swap their alacantra wheel with a leather wheel, aftermarket or stock one from a SS?

A few months ago I replaced the alcantara on the steering wheel with perforated leather, including red stitches and a center top red stripe. It was custom made by a local shop. I like it much better, the leather feels great and the grip is fantastic. I liked the alcantara, but it gets dirty easily and as a result it looses its "classy" look and feel after a while.

That looks really good.
I don't hate alcantara, but I drive in gloves daily... Bigger issue is the thickness of the wheel - way too skinny. Yours seems to be a good thick one, but not too thick like those carbons.

Wow, this is how Camaro steering wheels should've come from the factory. Amazing quality, and some good padding underneath the leather. I'm jealous
