I like the Gt the best... putting one in mine!

Wow...I figured the 68 would win.
I do love the grant and the S-10 when my hands are wrapped around them, but as stated, you can't see the guages for crap. I'll probably be swapping them out all the time.
I think I will start out with the 68 wheel. I'm kinda wondering how long the paint will last on it. i hear from many ppl you can just paint them after a good sanding and cleaning...but I am still sceptical.

On the stereo..I removed it to install in the wife's ride after hers got stollen...had to shut her up. Not that I was able to hear it over my pipes anyways...
But then it got ripped off out of her truck. That's the one they tried to steel the whole truck for. :(

Here's my first choice, It's none of them you posted though ANDY.

This as a "NARDI" Italian made and one piece wood. Yes they are expensive but once you see one in person it's a "gotta have" The only problem is my truck doesn't look good enough yet to put the wheel on, I'd embarass it... hehe

I bought this one out of GERMANY,

Ya know at first, I didn't like the way the wheel blocked the bottom guages, but after awhile driving the truck, I didn't care. Plus, I always move the wheel a little while I'm driving, so, I see them anyways. :D

Wheels
 
Out of the four shown I would use the s-10 wheel. The rest are well you said it best....


FUGLYYYYY

If you want another idea try some corrvette wheels, like the one in my 71.

Have yall ever seen the wheel on a 89 cavalier GT they look great I use them on all my rides,I even had one on BIG ORANGE! And if it wasnt cold I would go out to the shop and take a pic and show you what it looks like.

This is the same wheel that is in my S-10, and it doesn't block the view of the lower gauges. Now I'm just trying to get the horn wired to it.

You guys are too funny! (nice shoes - smart ass)

I voted for the Grant steering wheel, but I misread the question! Which, are good, except the cheap ass horn kit!

weasel29gm 12-24-2002 05:25 PM

I got one like Subs, gave 6 bucks for it!! I like the Grant or the Z-24 wheel Big O was talkin' about:bowtie: :flag: :bowtie:

Here is the wheel that I really want!
Somethign I didn't think about...the spoke probably won't be covering too much...not on a tilt column anyways.
Hmmmm....I may just have to rethink this and agree with the majority here.

Don't those wheels have a really deep dish to them? I have never seen one, but I wanted one until I looked at the dimensions, and I know at least for me I would have no room for my arms.

Mudder 12-25-2002 02:56 AM

is that a Corvette wheel?

neonlarry 12-25-2002 02:59 AM

If that's the one I think it is, no, it isn't a corvette wheel. The corvette wheels are really nice, the price is the only reason why I have a camaro one instead.

Longhorn Man 12-25-2002 06:43 PM

The one i just posted is an aftermarket one by grant...looks much like an old camaro wheel, but it isn't though.
I never looked at the dish...good eye.
You can get these from LMC...and I hope from other vendors too. LMC gets very limited buisness from me.

neonlarry 12-25-2002 07:24 PM

I have seen that wheel a bunch of different places. It looks nice, but it has like a 5.5 inch dish or something. If I wanted a wheel that looked like that, I would get one of the ones like in the picture Desert Rat posted.

Andy, by now you know which one I like.

Sierra 12-26-2002 01:42 AM

I have had no major problems with my Grant GT. The most important thing I did to get my horn to work was to ignore most of the Grant instructions. To do that, all I used was the short insulated black jumper to the steering wheel. I used nothing else in the kit, as of two years ago. I'm not saying Grant is a decent vendor, but you can make the stuff work, if you really want to. It's a shame we have to figure this stuff out for ourselves after we have supposedly paid for the technology!

jay-dawg 12-26-2002 02:04 PM

You know, I really like the stock round horn button. I wonder if I can get colorado customs to machine a steering wheel to accept the horn button. hmmm........$$$$$
