Anyone have a nice aftermarket steering wheel that they can post?

[Mfr426]

Hello all, over the last few years of driving my 69 SE the desire to put on an aftermarket (smaller and thicker) steering wheel has become more apparent. I have the woodgrain one that I had restored and it looks great but frankly, it's too big and too thin.

I'd like to see if anyone has any pics of nice aftermarket steering wheels that they think works well with their car. Thanks in advance for any help.

Grant makes a good 3-spoke wooden one that looks kind of non-specifically muscle-era.  It's sold with various logos and stuff but it's usually the same basic rim item.

Mike, I saw that wheel and it looks very nice for the price. I'd like to see if on a Charger if anyone has it installed?

Thanks

I'll take a picture today of my grant/fx installed on my 69.  It's the one correct for the 05 DOH movie.

Thanks All. Has anyone purchased the Grant wood gain unit for classic cars?

[Foreman72]

gotta love that transformers logo...

here you go

mikepmcs,
do u mean to tell me that tic-toc-tac isn't in use? can i have it 

[Corellian Corvette]

I've used this wheel in my charger and my dad's 442. I really like these wheels, I like the way the feel and they look period correct for the price. Plus going grant gives you lots of options for horn buttons (I just stuck with plain chrome)

Sorry brother, that is just a tic toc clock, no tach.

[Foreman72]

really? i'd swear it was one...sure looks like one... but i guess you would be the final call on that ...i suppose that would explain the tach on the column...

so not to hijack or anything but what is available for aftermarket steering columns...i kno ididit and flaming river are around but it seems like unless you get one of their "universal" columns your out of luck cuz everything is made for gm...but those of you who hav switched out your columns who did you go with? thanks...again, trying not to hijack...thanks

XV motorsports makes a nice column

[Mfr426]

I LOVE THAT WHEEL!!!!!

[Finn]

In one of my magazines there was an ad for a new mopar steering column with tilt...
Looked pretty sweet...don't remember who made it though, might have been XV??

What's the REAL skinny on horn buttons for those Grant old-school wheels? 


Is there a decent way to get a normal-feeling horn button in the center like a stock late-60s factory woodgrain wheel?

(By "normal feeling" I'm asking about the horn switch/button mechanism, not the actual button on top.)

[KS71owner]

I have the Grant wood wheel in mine too....I'll post a pic once I pull it off my other computer. Looks great, and it matches the faux wood trim in the dash pretty well.

I may have to get that Autobot horn button though....

I can vouch for this, I just installed one in my car!!

Sorry about the car being so dirty, we had just finished. GREAT product.

My wheel is a Grant, also.

[Purple68]

I'm reviving this thread hoping you guys could post some more pics of your aftermarket steering wheels. I just got a new pistol grip shifter from Duncan Engineering and am thinking about a wheel that would somewhat match the shifter. The shifter is stainless with black grips, car is 68 with black interior. Post what you got! Thanks.

I have a British TVR sportscar wheel on mine, made by 'Personal' in Italy. It's leather and 14 inches in diameter. I have a horn push button with it, but I don't like the 'TVR' logo on it. I'll make something else work. I have no problem with 'foreign' parts on it - there's not much 'originality' about my car anyway, as most of it was missing when I imported it in 2008.

4 years later there's got to be new stuff out.

grant in mine.

[myk]

I have that same wheel...

[terrible one]

Here's mine, Grant #338. Similar to cdr's but not quite the same. Im very pleased with it

[oldcarnut]

How much smaller are those than the stock woodgrain wheels and does the smaller CIA affect the feel of driving/turning?

[WHITE AND RED 69]

I've got a 14" Lecarra wheel on mine.

With a smaller wheel it's easier and faster to throw the car into different directions; at least that's how it is for me...

Opinions     I saw this earlier thinking it may go with my bird build theme

[oldcarnut]

Came in today.  The rim grips are removable to change colors and designs when the old one gets worn or your want a change.

[TexasStroker]

I have that same wheel...

As Cdr?  Same here, lol.  It has been good to me so far...been there for 16 years or so.

Build is looking great oldcarnut...I'd be interested in seeing a color matched rim grip...might be kind of cool.
