Re: What is a good steering wheel
I'm pretty satisfied w/ my Billet Wheel. I 1st purchased the newer original Chevy Wheel from Classic Ind, and after driving for a few weeks, I hated the rough plastic. Almost as if it's been molded and thrown on the steering wheel without someone roughing the edges off and maybe making it a little more comfortable to the hands. Not the case!
I'm not too sure of all the makers and competitors w Steering wheels today but I know you probably won't be dissatisfied w Billets product. Good luck w ur choice! Send some pics after u install ur wheel, I'd love to check out your truck.. Best regards, Shawn |

Re: What is a good steering wheel
If your asking in general are for the best place for a stock truck wheel? If in general I like my 67 SS Chevelle wheel I redid off E-Bay. I wraped it myself.

Re: What is a good steering wheel
For looks I like the grant wood grain stock Campari look a like wheel. I have it on my truck and I had it on my camaro but I have noticed the wood has started to separate because of the heat where I live ( I assume that's why)

Re: What is a good steering wheel
OEM and NOS come up on the sales forum every so often. Get there first and get it.

Re: What is a good steering wheel
I like GM car wheels from various years and there are a lot of sporty aftermarket wheels that are nice.

Re: What is a good steering wheel
Here you go. It's a decent deal. It will get you a reasonably priced wheel until you find what you really want. That is, if you need a wheel now. Or you may decide you like the grant wood. I took off my first wood grant and posted many negative comments on it. Now I have one again... from the links below. I have not found a good wheel I like, I will wait and let it come to me at this point. Who knows, I may end up keeping the wood grant. I like the size!

Re: What is a good steering wheel
Try forever sharp steering wheels on ebay, they are inexpensive and good quality, I have purchased one for my truck and know several people who have also purchased one for their truck and have been very satisfied.

Re: What is a good steering wheel
yes, that is my favorite non-stock wheel. I still prefer the original wheels a little more though. But hard to argue with how nice that one looks.

Re: What is a good steering wheel
^^ what he said. That's a steering wheel that looks good on anything. I'd put one on my lawnmower if I could.
