FIREBIRD WHEEL
I got one just like it in my camaro (came with the steering column when it was broken into). I hate that hula hoop wheel.

It looks kinda like mine, Firebird TA. In fact, it looks just like mine, Maybe GM used them on both cars to save money???

It matters because I sold it on ebay as a camaro leather steering wheel and when the guy got it he said it was a firebird steering wheel and pressed rubber.

You didn't sell it with the puller attached did you?

The puller came with it, it was in the auction, i assumed they would need to pull the old wheel.

No guys I have to disagree thats a firebird wheel, the spokes are too small to be a Iroc, not really much difference but the Iroc/Z28 are wider and have that engraved line in the center of the spoke. The rs wheels have the big square horn and two spokes, Like I said I m pretty sure its a firebird wheel.

I second that. It is leather, but the Camaro Z28 and IROC steering wheels have a depression running down the center of the two horizontal spokes. The spokes in that picture are flat.

I dunno, looks like a late 70's to 82 vette steeringwheel judging by the spokes and size. The horn plate does not look like a f-body piece. Is there a part number on it anywhere?

Hmmm... if I were a bettin' man I'd tell ya Firebird. I have twin '84 Trans Ams and that is the steering wheel in both. I've been to a lot of junk yards and dismantled my share of 3rd gens. - never saw that style wheel in a Camaro

They came in the IROC's, but with a crease in the center of the spokes, i think that was mentioned earlier in the post...

And this wheel appears to be identical to the one you sold, it is molded vinyl wraped. Its the original wheel from my 87 Formula. it is also identical to my second 87 formula.

I currently have the 88-89 standard wheel in my firebird, (soon to have radio controls)

I am pretty sure it is a firebird wheel. The same one I had in my 82. Mettali Camaro RS Irocs wheel has the spokes a lot lower and the spokes are fatter. I do know that is the same style as waht was in my 82Trans Am when I bought it. The horn cap on mine was black with a gold firebird in the center.
