14" Steering Wheel

Anyone come across a decent "original appearing " 14" steering wheel to fit a 67? I'm thinking it may make my entry and exit a little more graceful......

Grant makes 14" steering wheels that are specifically for the c2 Corvettes. They have a mahogany wheel and a leather wheel. Both are similar in look to the original.

I don't think they are mahogany, maybe walnut, but, now they just say hardwood???

I have a 14 inch Grant Steering Wheel in my 1966...

Convertible, and recommend it highly. Much easier entry and exit from the car + little chance of knocking your knees on it as well.

was looking at his wheels at Carlisle, they are real nice and about $550. at least they were at the show
Make sure you stay with the deep hub because if you don't you lose the advantage of downsizing entry/ext wise, I went with the smaller wheel from Ecklers and it is shallower (pictured below) so didn't gain much as it's closer in and to my legs but it gives me more belly room...

If you decide to go with a Freeman wheel (I have a Freeman 15”), I recommend you call Dick Barron at Virginia Vettes (757-565-1972). Dick discounts them and is great to work with.
