Steering Wheel Ideas

[69SlowResto]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for opinions on the steering wheel options that are out there. What size wheel is most common - 13" or 15"? Also what brand is the best? I hear good and bad things about Grant. Pictures and links are welcome.

Cheers

The garden-variety bottom of the line Grant wheel is a cheesy piece of…

Their expensive wheels are supposed to be better, but that cheap wheel has given the brand a reputation for junk.

The 13" wheel belongs on go-karts. Too small for a real car, I'd consider 14" a minimum for a Mustang.

I have seen the Moto-Lita at Glazier/Nolan. A real piece of handmade artwork.

I have a Lecarra. Nice wheel.

Snagged one off of Ebay and painted the spokes to go along with the interior theme. Added the Pony to the center myself.

Billet specialities makes a lot of good wheels, expensive, but you get what you pay for. Best wheel is 14" on a mustang or 15" if you like the look of a little larger wheel, 13" way too small.

22GT, I like that wheel. Where did you get it, and what did it cost? Guess they make a standard Mustang horn cap as well? Nice touch with the "Lone Star" shifter knob.

I rather like my Moto-Lita.

Grant is to steering wheels as Yugo is to automobiles.

I think that 22GT is right - Grant has gotten a bad rep for their cheapo steering wheels, but you get what you pay for. I have their Signature Series and REALLY like it - good solid grip, high quality, very nice looking. It's 15".

Ditto! I love my 14" LeCarra/Moto-Lita. So much easier to get in and out of the car without a 15" wheel. Mine has held up well for 20 years and still looks new.

I like the Moto-Lita best, is that a 14" or a 15"?

Here's my LeCarra:

Sorry bartl, but I had a wooden Grant before this one and it fit great and never had one problem with it.

I have seen them at Glazier/Nolan. There is also an excellent Mustang emblem available for that wheel. IIRC, that wheel runs a little short of $400. If you saw it, you'd know why. That's twice the cost of the cheap Grant, but a lot more than twice the value.
