What steering wheels you have? Lets see em Sorry no stockers

EMPIImp69

What wheels do you guys have on your bugs besides stock horn ring ones? Im looking for something different and cool looking. I like the old Formuling France ones but they are harder to come by. I want to change out the woodgrain one that I have in my bug now. I think its made by Grant. Anyone looking for a 3 spoke woodgrain wheel for their bug?

i have a grant, 4 spoke, almost like an squished 'X'. smaller diameter than stock, but thicker grips. little harder to steer, but then, if i had the proper wheels and tires on the vehicle, it would be easier to steer also.

IMO empi gts are the best looking steering wheels out there... but they are pretty pricey, unless you happen to find a set on a junker Very Happy

i used to have one of those 3 spoker formuling france wheels, i loved it but it was probably even older than me and the leather was starting to wear out
so ive replaced it now with a momo corse
this is the only pic i can find of it on my computer so just ignore the speedo

Here is my wood one, can't see to well from the angle though

I especially like that Nardi one..that's sweet, the Empi GT one is nice too, I know original ones are going for crazy money.

Does anyone know the quality of the wood wheel offered by mid america motorworks? It looks nice in the pics, but its amazing what a picture doesn't tell....

Cory the Mid America steering wheel is excellent quality. I just went and pulled one off the shelf and it was heavier duty then I expected. We get the steering wheels from Dansk which they have some pretty quality stuff. We do have one of 396404 in stock I am not sure why the web says it is temporary shortage. If you have any questions or would like more pics send me an email at [email protected].
Thanks

I don't have a picture of it in the car yet, but I've got THIS ONE from Mooneyes. Metal Flake blue and I got the one with holes in the spokes.
