Steering Wheel Replacement?

Wanting to replace my steering wheel with the helm of a pirate ship. Where do I start?

OK, just kidding... sorta. I DO want to replace my stock steering wheel with a new one. OEM wheel gets soft in the rainy, cold winters and gums up a bit, plus it just doesn't look fabulous. Where do I start? How do I acquire a new one? Will virtually any steering wheel fit? I'm clueless. Help please!

Just what are you looking for (an OEM replacement, aftermarket replacement, race car style)?

Are you wanting to replace the steering wheel on your 1994 Truck in your signature?

Not OEM. Some nice-looking aftermarket wheel. Haven't decided on the style because I don't know what styles are available.

Fo' fo's I'm tippin', wood grain I'm grippin'





Made by Lines Racing. Never heard of the brand before purchasing, but for all of like $80 new, I'm 100% satisfied with it. And that price includes shipping and buying a hub to mount it with. Feels great to drive, very durable and robust so I have no worries about it bending like my friend's old NRG wheel did in his 240sx. Most importantly, I love the look. The stock wheel looked like a folded up diaper coated in grey rubber.

Wrap the oem nicely. Leather. Or have it done?

I had Grant Wheels, but in the end I always came back to the oem

I don't recognize the lyrical reference, but I recognize the interior of your vehicle. Looks identical to mine. Your steering wheel looks good, except I'd prefer black or grey not wood grain. And you didn't really answer a single question I asked. Either way, I like seeing the results of your steer wheel mod. How do you honk the horn?

Yes. That's a very good description of the stock steering wheel. Haha! Aint nothing pretty about it.

Aggressively and often

But on a serious note, just jump on amazon and search Grant steering wheels. There are hundreds of styles/sizes that fit on a hub you purchase from them. They also have a removable option (theft deterrent)
