I have the same wheel I saved from my first ralley charger. I plan to put it on my current car to replace the SE type thats on it now. I think it looks and feels better.

If your wheel is original and not recovered and you will replace I WOULD LOVE TO GET YOUR TUFF WHEEL no matter if faded. Mine is leather recovered. :-\

just let me know please. ( PM or email )

Ya I seen that.....now in pics they all look the same....is the wheel soft like my original tuff wheel...or is some hard plastic wheel with the same appearence?  Look fine in pictures....$98 Grant.... $229 eBay wheel...OEM wheel....Whats the difference?...texture..material...no Mopar logo?..don't know..gotta be some quality difference for the $$$  ???.....I can live with mine..as I did have some repair work on one spoke from a picker. but still in good condition

The ebay one is almost exactly and in fact was reproduced to looks and fit like the original, like the perfect fit replacement... the $88 Grant one is just similar, YR1  states original is deeper. Plus on close up pics about the Grant one the simulated seam is not present and needs some work to fit on Original adaptor... or get the right adaptor

I have mine on order. They said they will ship out in early May. I have seen the Grant Wood Tuff Wheel,it was very nice.  :yesnod:
The sales person at Summit said that it is a real nice wheel. The foam is similar to the original, not hard plastic. I will have to let you know when I get mine. I will take the chance & if I do not like it I will return it.

Are you getting the adapter for the Grant wheel or going to modify the wheel to fit?  How much $$$ for the adapter?

I allready have a Grant GT steering wheel on my Charger. It uses the Grant adaptor.
