Request: Steering wheel pics

If anyone has an aftermarket steering wheel on their car, could you post a shot of it and tell me what you think of it? The factory one on mine is just stupid looking IMO, plus its getting sticky like old vynil (sp?) has the tendency to. Thanks up front!

Ok, here is my Billet Specialties Eagle steering wheel with leather halfwrap. I love it. I purchased it when my IROC wheel started oozing goop out around the threads back in '91 or so. Planning on a Colorado Customs flamed wheel on my new '88 IROC. Billet sure gets the looks.

One word of advise. If you go with an aluminum wheel get one with at least a half wrap. These wheels get quite hot in the sun, and with some leather you at least have somewhere you can touch without burning yourself.

Wow that things sweet, looks quite expensive though. What i've got in mind is like a grant GT 3 spoke design in silver, but i really want something with a thick covering, preferable the soft kind. I don't care if it sounds wussy, i like the thick padded feel steering wheels. Is that the same one as that 'flamin Z28? It looks like it. Anyone else?

I like the one in my car. I think you've seen it. If not i'll show you. It's the Grant series, except it is black spokes instead of silver. I love it. Feels better than the flimsly stock one
