Default Help with Steering Wheel Selection??

http://willcoxcorvette.com/advanced_...EERING%20WHEEL

Wilcox has this steering wheel (x2502) at a great price, however, it only comes with the chrome spokes. Has anybody been able to find this wheel with satin brushed spokes. I like this one because it's a smaller diameter then the original but still has the spokes with the hole in them like the original. I'm not sure I could live with the chrome when the original was brushed...???

I know they make one, because I have one I got from a guy on this forum. I wish I knew where he got it.

Grant makes some st. wh. w/ polished brushed slotted spokes in leather 791 or wood 794 that are a direct bolt on.

I put the black leather one on my Corvette a long time ago. It has polished slotted spokes & a very shallow dish which moves it closer to the dash. Nice, direct bolt on about 13 1/2". Ideal, esp. if one is tall.

I just ordered the Grant 791 from Summit, thanks for the help, hopefully the wife won't find out until after it's delivered and installed..
