The chrome one would look better than stock, but I prefer the black. The chrome will get finger prints and all on it, just another thing to clean.

Stay away from the challenger wheels. I know a lot of people have them, and probably don't have problems with them, etc, etc. But the fact is, the horn is not very well designed (if/when the button pops off, and it will, your horn will be stuck ON), the chrome or paint flakes off easily and then rusts quickly, and the grip surface degrades in no time. They cheaped out on the engineering and materials and that's why it's only $30. Grant makes some decent wheels, but not the challenger series. Look at the signature series. They have enclosed horn buttons and better materials.

I've got the Challenger steering wheel on my car and I really like it. I haven't had any problems with the grip degrading, horn button flying off, or paint chipping off (I've got the satin spokes, not chrome though) after almost four years.

Ask one of the guys there at the store to see if they go an install kit in stock. THey should. Also see if they have a grant catalog too. If they do you can order a horn button with a Camaro or bowtie logo on it. I work at AutoZone and thats what I did with my camaro. The button is like another $20.
