Looking at new steering wheels
 

Can't decide on which wheel to get. I'm looking at the grant nostalgia w/ black foam and the blue bowtie horn button. Then I'm thinking of the grant collector's series that has a leather grip and either 3 or 4 spoke polished aluminum w/ billet bowtie horn. What do you all think? I like the idea of leather but I'm torn a little. Anyone have these already. Thanks.

I have the Grant woodgrain one on my Truck and a leather wrapped one on my Son's Nova...Both are very comfortable.

Does the 3-spoke make it easier to read gauges or really no difference? Now I'm really torn. Love that wooden one, too. Thanks for the pics.

I think either way you go the gauges will be somewhat obstructed because of the smaller diameter. If you so go with Grant, they make an awesome billet adapter that matches the wheel, plus there are many billet horn buttons available as well. I have seen just plain smooth horn buttons, ones that have a bowtie and I think there was one with flames.

Here's a few

Mike, did you get these from Summit?

Re: Looking at new steering wheels
 

Hey big mike, where did you get the gauges they look good.

Re: Looking at new steering wheels
 

Yep :)

They are stock gauges with silver overlays from 67-72-CHEVY-TRUCK-WHITE-GAUGES-BLAZER-GMC-dash-1972
Just email him about silver

I also have the 3-spoke mahogany Grant wheel (it's either 14" or 14 1/2") with the blue Chevy horn button. Looks great, works great. I never had a factory wheel so I'm not sure how gague obstruction compares (the wheel I replaced was a 13" grant), but the 3-spoke does obstruct the lower gagues - but that could just be because I'm short (5'7"). My solution was to get a tilt column...

Here's a pic from my 5'7" perspective with a non-tilt column ... (yes my legs are that white)

Nice pic, jfalesi. I was thinking about that button, too. Looks very nice.
