Here is a picture of mine.. I really like the way it look/feels compared to the stock one. I found that the emblem from the center caps on Camaro wheels fits over the Grant GT horn button perfectly, and makes it look a lot better.

Hey skapunk8301 would you be able to tell me the size diffence between your factory wheel and the new GT one? Is it smaller or the same size cause i'm looking for a wheel the same size as factory.
I no longer have my stock wheel, as I sold it on eBay, but I know the new wheel is a little smaller in diameter than the stock steering wheel. It is so much better IMO!!! No more 18 wheeler size steering wheel to go along with the 18 wheeler throw length in the manual trans! But whatever makes you happy.. One thing that bothers me a little bit is the fact that the new steering wheel covers a small part of the gauges, which I'm guessing is why the stock wheel is designed the way it is. I edited my first post with a more recent picture of the steering wheel to show you what I mean.

Yeah.. Wheel size is important.. I never noticed how bad until I drove a friends Eagle Talon TSI (or whatever the turbo'd one is) and couldn't see the gauges.. Being 6 ft, I was having to look down at them pretty heaveily, and really couldn't see the tach at all, and the speedo was hard..
VERY annoying..
