Grant makes some st. wh. that are a direct bolt on. Have the black leather one on my Corvette. It has polished slotted spokes & a shallower dish which moves it closer to the dash- great if you are tall.

:cool:

Pics. on my website.

In the 1980, are there any wheels that allow the driver's seat to fold all the way down? When I put the wheel all the way in it still won't go forward all the way.

I am HIGHLY considering a removeable wheel to over come this.

Grant has a website with most of their wheels on it. Do a google search.

Don't let not a direct fit bother you. A little time with a file will fit any of their wheels to the Vette column. I use a 13 inch 3 spoke with a 1 inch dish.

Grant 794. Direct fit. Cannot fold seat all the way down. Doubt there is a steering wheel that will allow.
