I've seen this type of wheel in so many cars and pickups. Why? Is just plane ulgy. Thare are so many other options. And I see this dang thing in a fuller restored comaro

I had one in my 66 Chevelle. It made it way faster than putting lightning bolts on it.

I had one in my custom van in high school almost 40 years ago... I like to think it was cool back then. :lol: I bet Grant loves them!

Oh yeah... I also had the ZZ Top chrome key chain dangling from my rear view mirror and 6x9 JVC speakers. :metal::5150:

It's a retro thing? That makes sense. That's why I don't understand it. I was not around then. I think it aged badly anyway.

I agree, and unfortunately my truck has one that one of the previous owners put on. Eventually, I'll replace it with something else, but since it works, I'm not in a hurry to spend money on another one when I have other things to fix.

The only difference with mine, is it's black. So, doesn't quite stand out as bad as the chrome version.

nothing says high performance driving like a wheel with less places to hang on to it

I like this aftermarket steering wheel. If I did not have a pritty good 67 steering wheel in my 71 I would go this route over that grant one or any other one for that matter.

Those GT wheels are dirt cheap, and probably the biggest reason there are so many of them on cars and trucks.

Like so many things we put on our rides it really is dependent on the eye of the owner. There are a lot of trucks on this board that are wonderful builds except .... Insert whatever you want.

I don't see any reason to call people out on their tastes, even if its not as good as my taste haha!

I really like my Forever Sharp wheel, but wish it was just a little bigger in diameter.
