Lets see your steering wheels!

[Reezee]

Even though my car is a long way from being drivable, I fantasize daily about how that would be. Im 99% sure im going with an after market steering wheel, but that got me curious. What do other people have in their Charger?

Show us wat you got! (I could'nt find other topics about it, but then again I cant seem to find anything with the search function. So it might be me )

[JR]

I don't have any close up pics of my wheel, but I have a shot where it's visible. Im still using the original wood grain three spoke sport wheel.

I eventually plan to upgrade to a faster borgenson steering box, and will likely go to a smaller steering wheel when I do. My top two likely pics are either a Nardi wheel, like so:




Or if not that, my second choice is a reproduction Mopar tuff wheel



If you have manual steering, I'd recommend sticking with the large diameter wheels. This bottom pic is my wheel, the original three spoke sport wheel. It's pretty large by modern standards. Looks really cool, but I can't wait to go to a smaller one.

Woodgrain baby !

[69wannabe]

Factory 3 spoke sport woodgrain wheel here, I haven't got any recent pic's of it or of the car lately. Need to learn how to post pic's on here....

I have a leather wrapped Grant Tuff knock off. I didn't use the factory Tuff spacer, because I wanted the steering wheel further away from me than the factory wood grain wheel the car came with. I did have to bend the turn indicator stalk towards the dash though, to keep it away from the wheel.

Pic of my wheel set up is on page 3 of my thread in my signature.

Leather wrapped......

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Leather wrapped wheel for me.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

My car has manual steering & I just ordered this....

[Ghoste]

Haha, yep you'll need it.

[6970Charger]

1970 Rim blow, standard steering, 4 gear...

[6pkrtse]

I have the factory wood grain wheel in my 70' Charger (not cracked yet) & I also adapted the factory wood grain in my 70' Challenger to use with the quick release & tubular column.

[Charger_Fan]

I kinda miss the one that came on mine when I bought it in '86.

Far out, man.

[Reezee]

Man, they all look so cool! Luckily I still have a couple of years to decide, haha.

[hemigeno]

I actually don't mind the plain-ol' partial horn ring style myself...

[c00nhunterjoe]

Manual steering, turns easily one handed. No complaints.

[kent]

That's what I'm going with.

[marshallfry01]

Nothing beats the classic look of a a factory 3 spoke wood grain wheel.

[Mopar Nut]

Me too, looks great!

[Reezee]

Where did you get this steering wheel? I have the orignal partial horn ring style and I dig it alot, but I would like something more sporty like this.. I Think...

The Momo Retro:



Nardi Deep Corn:

[VegasCharger]

1967-early '68 style.

It's the original steering wheel that came with the car.  I just had it leather wrapped by an upolsterer here in Melbourne who specialises in seat and steering wheel covers.

[BigCE]

Grant woodgrain wheel. Its just ok, I like the thickness and size of the wheel.

It has good potential IMO I plan to eventually drill out the crappy rivets holding it together and replacing them with stainless screws of some sort and re sanding it and staining it a bit darker.

[6pkrtse]

It would be nice if someone would over a "fat wheel kit" to put on over the factory steering wheels for that factory look. With age I do find my hands cramping up when driving my car for long periods of time trying to hold on to the thin wood grain area. I usually find myself needing to re-position & two finger the wheel. Some of the fatter custom recovered looking wheels you guys have done look awesome.

[timmycharger]

I pulled this pic from Keepat's build thread, but unfortunately the pics of his wheel masterpiece are not viewable thanks to Photobucket.  Here is a pic that member WhiteandGreen posted (Hope you don't mind) of his custom wheel.  Amazing stuff

[Old Moparz]

Same.

[tommymac]

Fred How did you get that leather wraped

[Fred]

I had it done professionally by an upholsterer here in Melbourne who specialises in seat and steering wheel covers.

[VegasCharger]

Nothing.

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Leather wrapped wheel for me. 

Is this wheel similar to the line of wheels sold by Classic Industries?

[tommymac]

Thanks ill look into it.

[Fred]

No worries.
It won't be cheap but well worth it. Not only does it look great, it feels really good and gives a better grip. Plus it's added a bit of thickness to the wheel which I like.

[BLK 68 R/T]

Here's mine.

[nvrbdn]

Bought a 69 steering wheel, but decided to go with this one instead.

[nvrbdn]

This is the one I had planned to go with before. Still needs repaired, so it sits.

[69bronzeT5]

My '69 has this one....

[Derwud]

This is what I bought

Or if not that, my second choice is a reproduction Mopar tuff wheel

This is what I want

[birdsandbees]

 

[Bad B-rad]

I personally really like the stock Mopar one, above in post#46, by birdsandbees, I had that in a Coronet, but my 69 has the "woodgrain" wheel so I will stay with that.

Some very cool wheels here!!

[HeavyFuel]

Original factory simulated wood grain - no repairs.

Just received mine back from Mike Tarkington.  Nice work!  Here is before/after

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Here's a couple more of my favorites:

The Momo Retro:

Dang! I like that one. I bought a Momo Prototipo for my Duster project but I should have gone with the Retro.

[oldcarnut]

Forever Sharp steering wheel.   Hand ring is replacable with other types when you want something different.

[Old Moparz]

Yeah, that means I can go dancing now!    

Actually, I did get a nice standard wheel that I got from a member on here, Pete (Wingnut426) when I bought a bench seat from him for my other car. 

Nothing.
