Default Steering wheel question

I am wanting to upgrade the look of the interior of my 81 without giving up my tilt tele functions and really like the idea of looking stock but not original. Will any of the newer vette steering wheels work?

Good question, I don't know but I think early C4 would fit. Once you get to air bags, probably not. There are aftermarket wheels that work with the tele feature. The Zora wheel will work, I have one of those. Early Oldsmobile 4-spoke sport wheels will also work and bolt up to the hub you have. Perhaps Jim Shea will answer.

Grant direct fit for the Corvette tilt-tele column. Easy swap and very comfortable.

That looks nice but still has an C3 look. I am looking for a newer look.

I'm not the aftermarket steering wheel man.
Sorry,

Will a C4 wheel fit a C3 hub?
