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 :-\ )

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.

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.

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


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Manual steering, turns easily one handed. No complaints.

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...  :lol:
