Here's my Grant. I purchased it at AutoZone, I think. Grant has a web site. Note the billet adapter (the wheel comes with a rubber adapter, but it didn't seem right) and silver Camaro horn button.

Those type of wheels won't work for his car. He has an airbag. I'm assuming you are looking for a factory replacement wheel for you car. Unfortunatley, I don't know where you can find them. Try doing a search on this site, or try ebay.

Just remove the airbag, really simple to do. I removed everything from my TA that had to do with the airbag, sensors, wheel etc.

There is a tech article on this site about removing the airbag. only thing is doesn't mention is that the light for the SIR system in the dash will stay on. You have to either remove the light or deal with it.

The wheel is a Grant model I got at Autozone in 2000.

Thanks for the compliment on the interior.

I have the same wheel that JamesC has. I love it. Smaller than stock so it feels better driving.

I have the $40 Grant (Challenger model isn't it? can't recall) wheel in both my thirdgens, black in my Z and the Silver Satin in the IROC. It's a sweet wheel for cheap. The foam grip feels great, install is relatively easy, if it ever wears out you can replace it for another $40, etc. It's great... They offer the same wheel in Chrome too, but it looks pretty tacky to me... They make some more expensive wheels too but I think the cheapie is great, sure beats the pants off the ugly *** stock wheel (non airbag on mine)
