Sorry nobody likes my idea, I like it and My old lady likes it thats all that matters to me. I may change the center flames, put a round planet over them when i get them air brushed i'll think of somethin. still waiting on horn buttons for the tops to come in. At least now you have a better idea what it's gonna look like. Thanx 4 all the input..

looks more like art. The only thing is I think in most state thats illegal and also if you wreck your going to cut your throat. were did you get that metal work done?

looks like something out of some bad S&M ****...
i'll say it agian, you do good work based on the rest of the car...don't screw it up with that steering wheel

Xophertony

wow! that leatherwork is different. does look like s&m gear i am going to say a few things. these are just my opinions and (unlike some posters) are ment as "constructive critasism, not just to tear you down.

1. that wheel is a work of art. verry nice job. despite all the haters it looks good and is totally badass. that being said...

2. i do NOT think you should put it in your car, at least not as it is now. airbrushed or not i don't think it will look right. i looked at your cardomain page. you have a CLASSY ride. that wheel realy would be more at home in a sand-rail, frame buggy, or a go cart. that would be one badass go cart BTW.

3.if you replaced the center section with a round piece of leather/padding i think it would change the whole thing. that might look realy classy, and i think it would fit the rest of the car better.

4. different states have diffewrent laws, i believe in california it is illegal to have a non round wheel like that. not sure about your state. i can't imagine it being legal here in oregon either. but then again nothing is illegal if you don't get caught.

i would also like to add that your car looks awsome. i realy love that colour of yellow. i also like the GFX swap. looks clean. and even if you do decide to put your wheel in the car i don't think it will "ruin" it.

GFX is short for Groundeffects. why GFX is it's abbreviation i do not know...

It's cool looking. I would hang it on the wall, not on the car. Steering wheels are round for a reason.

thondor

and the reason is? when i had my fat ugly one with the big ugly air bag on it i shoved my hand inbetween the air bag and the wheel anyways. i ony use one spot on the wheel i not all over it. 30 years ago i had an impala with a **** on it. guess some people have to drive with 2 hands and turn hand over hand. sux 2 be them

Leave him alone it is called natural selection fellas., enjoy your wheel bro.

That would look good in a rat fink car or a goth hot-rod, pretty dangerous though in a car you would drive regularly. I would remove the flames for safety, or atleast downsize them so you dont rip your throat open.

Interesting idea...

But, until I read the replies, I had no idea what it was supposed to be.

The flames tips do look dangerous though. Might look good, if the space between the spokes, had the flames in-between them.

It may justs be the leather wrap, but the spokes don't look equal. Bed leather wrap job?

On the ends, it looks like the vertical tubes, stick out past the leather, not wrapped/capped.

Justs my opinions and obversations. As long as you like it, enjoy it.

You did an excellent job cutting out the flames. I'm impressed.

I have an analogy for you...

Have you ever cooked something? Have you ever put in too much of an ingredient that you like, and then it comes out kinda nasty? I think the flames on that wheel would do that to your car.

Themes are good, but too much garlic will overwhelm the lasagna.

Besides, why don't you cut out trim rings for the gauges and then some polished accent pieces for the dash? You are obviously talented with a cutter, you may as well use it for something.

Just avoid flames... they are wayyyy overdone.
