Steering Wheels

I have custom seats in my truck and it makes me not be able to see my speedo and makes it hard to get into it. I was wondering if any1 knew a steering wheel with a flat bottom and the center is lower than normal? kinda like this one but with the flat bottom...

Re: Steering Wheels

Do you have a tilt column? That made a huge difference for mine.

Re: Steering Wheels

I don't have a tilt column. This is what i see when im driving. I can only see the bottom of the speedo and fuel gauge.
And because the seats are so high its hard to get in because my legs hit the wheel.

Re: Steering Wheels

If is a big deal with getting in and out of the seats I would say get a tilt column. They are not hard to change out and you will love it.

Re: Steering Wheels

If your legs hit the steering wheel, a new wheel will probably do the same thing. I would look and see if maybe you can change the brackets for the seats to lower them down more. That is unless that would make you sit too low.
