Mahogany Steering Wheel
 
Anybody seen the new LMC catalog and the 3 spoke Mahogany steering wheel on the front cover in the background? Is that a Grant Steering Wheel? I am wondering if their $249.00 wheel is the same one that Summit sells for about $190? Would this wheel look better than a 3 spoke leather wrapped GT wheel? Would like your opinions.

I personally like the Mahogany wheels! However, that sure is alot of money to spend on something your dirty, grimy hands are going to be on for 99.9% of the time in your truck.

I don't know anything about who makes it, but it sure is a beautiful steering wheel. It is a little expensive, though.

Is LMC more expensive then other places you can buy parts from? If so does the quality of their parts make up for it?

LMC is higher on some parts and lower on others. I would check around at all the parts places for the specific part you need. Also, I've heard different opinions on the quality of their parts. Guess it depends which part you're getting. Chevy Duty and Cheyenne are also good chevy parts places. Check my links out on my website for some other parts places --> http://www.shelbournes.net/trucksite/links.htm

Here is the wheel in my truck I bought it almost 8 years for maybe 200.00 bucks and the billet horn button was another 35.00. I bought it from a local speed shop in Little Rock AR. when I lived there. I love the wheel and it looks as good today as when I put it in the truck...

WHYBYNU, I love that wheel! It loosk really good in that truck but not sure if it would look good in mine. The 67-72s have more of the classic look and it fits better.
