Steering wheels?

I like my steering wheel, its fine. ( seen in my icon ) The thing is its getting old, the back is starting to crack from sun damage so its time to start looking for a new one. Grant makes a cool silver one that I like, this is just my style. But I dont want to rule out what I havent seen. Just looking at the one below, is there anything else out there that presents a simular style that I might be missing out on?

I bought the exact same wheel shown at the top, there, the Grant Challenger 440. It looks awesome in the pictures, hope it's just as good in my car. Does anyone know the part number I'm going to need for the Grant Conversion kit? I'm figuring it's universal for Camaro's and most other GM's, but I'm driving a 91 RS.

You do know that you can get Steering wheel leather kits that can fix the cracking right?

Just an idea if you didn't really want to replace the wheel.

It looks nice though.
