Re: What color is this OEM Blue steering wheel?

The only repro wheel I bought was blue and I bought it in '01. It was certainly the first and only reproduction wheel offered. With little use, within four years the rim split at high noon and separated about 3/16" leaving a gap. Those wheels were crap. I noticed mine's failure after we had a cold snap that brought temps down to single digit. I went out to start and let run a while, as I always do after a cold snap, in addition to the regular intervals. Those wheels were molded black and painted to color
