Billet Steering Wheel Adapter

Wanted to have a different steering wheel adapter than the Grant ones that I have used for years. But, I didn't want to go with their billet adapters, they are not flat black, like most of our interiors. So I decided to try one from Forever Sharp and am very pleased with the product. It was only $20 more than the typical ones you get from the Grant install kits. And it went on super easy.

Is that the black 5-hole piece?

Re: Billet Steering Wheel Adapter

Yes. A benefit I didn't expect was that it moves the steering wheel closer to the dash. Maybe only an inch, but, it does make a difference and feels better. Wish I had used this on my other cars I installed aftermarket wheels on.

Re: Billet Steering Wheel Adapter

Thinking about going with a summit brand billet wheel and adapter and having them powder coated to match the interior. What wheel and button is that in your car?
