Thinking about a new steering wheel...

I really dig the Budnik split grip (half leather/half billet) look and am thinking about a few of them. Opinions?

Sport (almost a dead ringer for the stock wheel)

Beveled Sport

Stiletto

Famosa (has a similar pattern to the Hopsters on the car)

I prefer the look of the factory wheel. Didn't care much for the skinny rim, though. What I did was to put one of those cheap plastic wheel wraps on it, then put an expensive leather wrap over that. Fattened up the rim to a comfortable thickness and it looks nice too.

OEM steering wheel

I have an "original" O.E.M. steering wheel I am going to sell.

This wheel is a 9.5 out of 10. PERFECT!

Interested ?

Already have the stock wheel in it, that's why I'm thinking about a change.

I like the beveled sport. I was going to get a matching wheel for my Boyd Nemesis rims until they quoted me $700.

Glad you said something. Checked out the website and they sell the Hopster steering wheel. It's exactly what I was leaning towards with the Budnik Famosa, but is a perfect match to my wheels...just ordered it
