Re: Grant Steering Wheels

Ive got a Grant Evolution GT, I got it off ebay new for $60. my only complaints are the fasteners included rusted after about a year, and that the wheel diameter is a little small

Re: Grant Steering Wheels

I agree about the wheel diameter. It is a real pain when you try to turn sharp corners.

Re: Grant Steering Wheels

In my opinion, most of the cheap grant wheels look... well... cheap. I do like how a lot of their leather wrapped wheels look. I've got one of the signature series wheels in my IROC with the polished spokes and black leather wrap, and I think it's a very nice looking wheel.

However, I think the stock wheel looks far better than the cheap grants, and would probably suggest that you just keep that, or perhaps spend the $100 on a nicer stock wheel.

Grant Steering Wheels-n503238094_263804_4525.jpg



theres mine forget what its called maby evolution? but it looks 10X better than stock yet looks like it could be the stock wheel. the grey on the wheel maches the grey interior perfect. but the screws will rust quickly...something grant should work on when u spend $300+ on thier product. as for turning sharply it doesnt seem to be a problem for me...

Re: Grant Steering Wheels

I dont know if they make something differant now but the sleeve adaptor with the rubber ribs is just plain ugly and I think the upgrade part is billet and alot more money from grant,not sure.Yes stay with the stock size,its my biggest regret going smaller.

The billet piece is more expensive, but well worth the money IMO.

Re: Grant Steering Wheels

I have one, and I really like it. Only problem I had was after a year and a half, the bolts on the adapter came loose, so I had to take off 5 allen head bolts and Tighten the adapter bolts. Other than that, I really like it.

But you dont have a "pregnant" airbag wheel.

Re: Grant Steering Wheels

We used this one in our Torino restoration project. Picked it up on eBay for a song, extremely comfortable, with nice finger grips on the back. http://www.grantproducts.com/pc-18-3-classic-model.aspx
We got the 15" Diameter.
