Has anyone bought this steering wheel?

Thinking this might look cool in our trucks. Wondering if the wood grain is close to the wood grain on Cheyennes ?

Re: Has anyone bought this steering wheel?

I like both those wheels – especially the first one. Is there any dish in those? How big are they?

Definitely one of the nicest aftermarket wheels I've seen.

I have that steering wheel in my truck. I have the black leather wrap instead of the wood though. The horn was not usable as it came so I had to modify it.

I bought that same wheel with the black leather wrap. I have had it on the truck for about a year now and it still looks great.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I was thinking the black one would look good in my truck.

That is a good looking wheel and yes would look good in your truck and I'd like to see a pic of the black one installed.

Because you asked I installed one

Had to sand and stain to match since to stain it came with was too red. Also painted the brass. Matches the side panels really good - satin clear isn't completely dry in the close up photo.

I like it but the smaller wheel takes a little to get use to.

Re: Has anyone bought this steering wheel?

Great job on the "redo". That is one of the best looking steering wheels that I have seen yet. I've been trying to decide on one myself, you just solved it for me.

Re: Has anyone bought this steering wheel?

Thanks- I used an old can of Dark Walnut I had, two coats to darken it up and then 3 coats of the satin clear.

Says 14" but wheel is slightly larger than 13.5, big change from the original 17".

Those wheels are hard to beat for the $. That one looks great in your truck. Nice work matching it to your wood grain!

Finally! An aftermarket wheel that doesn't look like a cheap mismatch for our trucks! Very nice.
