Ugly steering wheel.
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

Re: Ugly steering wheel.
I had one in my 66 Chevelle. It made it way faster than putting lightning bolts on it.

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

Re: Ugly steering wheel.
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.

Re: Ugly steering wheel.
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.

Re: Ugly steering wheel.
nothing says high performance driving like a wheel with less places to hang on to it

Re: Ugly steering wheel.
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.

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

Re: Ugly steering wheel.
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! |

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

Re: Ugly steering wheel.
My ugly wheels.
My 71 wheel. 67 Chevelle SS with a leather wrap I did myself. The old corvette wheel in the ramp truck. The 3 spoke wood wheel I just bought off e bay for $85.00 going in my daughters 68 stepper. The 2 spoke I had plan to use in the ramp truck but ended up in my 64 SS Impala.
