keep looking, ebay wheels arent that great. big game broke his in half, i had one and the leather started comming undone and what not. there pretty flemsy also. if you want a cheap wheel get a mooneys and a grant hub. like $90 for both. pretty cheap and not bad quality.

ebay wheels feel really cheap, you will feel it flex under stress and you will probably get a little scared. best bet is to get an oem wheel or used aftermarket wheel

http://www.mooneyesusa.com/catalog/i...1acce5ae5a1cea these are pretty tight. as for the grant hub you can pick one up at kragens, pep boys, ect. or you can also search on zilvia or another forum for a used aftermarket wheel liek spence said. once again, save your money and dont but that wheel.

those would look good on a classic like a bell air but not a 240. for an affordable quality wheel and hub go with grant.

those wheels are too spendy if you ask me, that money can be put to better use on other parts for now. but that's just my opinion.

i picked up a grant wheel a while back with the intent of installing it. not sure if that will ever happen though (my cruise control decided it would start working again too).

The OMP corsica wheels are only 240 ish, thats a great buy dude. It's cheaper than a deep corn nardi (which is probably the hottest steering wheel ever made) and it's pretty much the same

Yeah I don't think you should get an ebay wheel. They are made significantly cheaper and poorer quality. Mooneyes wheels are cool or just get a used Nardi, Personal, etc wheel and just clean it up.

It will last longer and authentic is always better.
Or if you're baller get like a Splash hub (w/lock) with a Key!s wheel
