EvilLex03 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Just wondering if anybody has put an aftermarket Steering wheel on there path ? I was thinking about getting one of those GT Wheels, But im not sure if it would be to small and look funny. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookie Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I put one of those GT steering wheels on. It was smaller but didn't look funny in my opinion. I thought it looked good. I had the black on silver. It was thicker than the stock wheel which I liked. When I Sas'd and used a Saginaw steering box, it was taking me what seemed like a 1000 revolutions to turn. That was ok, but backing down a very steep cutline with errosion ruts and rocks, it was dangerous as I couldn't keep the front end straight. Bouncing around hard downhill backwards usually meant stalling...which means no brakes and no steering, so I switched back to the stock steering wheel which gives me a fighting chance to keep the nose straight and not roll.

GrimGreg Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I put one in both of mine, I hate the skinny little stock wheel. I have large hands and like the thicker grip on GT style wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I put a smaller APC wheel on because my stock one was all jacked up and falling apart. I don't know about other areas, but the VA safety inspection limits the diameter of replacement steering wheels. I didn't have a problem, but you never know...

GrimGreg Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Most aftermarket wheels are large enough. Unless you go to Jegs and buy a Drag Wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 ANybody got a pic ? Know of a good place to get one ? Im going to get one. Grant GT wheel $57, Install kit $25; got the wheel at Autozone, and the install kit at PepBoys (neither of which carry Grant wheels anymore). I put a "Pilot" brand wheel in my 88 that I also got at Autozone for $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
