Default Kiss my Grant Wheel Goodbye

After playing with it for two years I am replacing it. CJ's put the Woodgrain Wheel on sale. Even though I really can't afford I just ordered it.

I really like the feel of the stock Pony wheel. For me, it's the right diameter, and thickness, so that even when wearing gloves, it feels good.
I am dumping my Grant for the "Deluxe Interior" woodgrain pony wheel. I will miss having a real wood wheel but I will not miss the sparking, the horn going off by itself, the clicking every time I turn the wheel and the horn button landing on my lap.

I hate to put some poor sucker through it but I will put the Grant on E Bay and try to recoup some of my expense.

Once you install the new wheel you will be very happy you spent the money. The new wheel looks, feels and works better. It will really add to the car. I'm glad I did it as well.

Carlos: How hard was it to install? Did you need to modify anything?

Rmodel: I'm not trying to get myself in trouble here by using this as a classified ad but they retail for about $130, this one is two years old and in like new condition as the car is garage kept. I am hoping to get at least $75.00 plus the true shipping costs. P/M me if you are interested.

Actually, it installs in minutes. You'll need a grant wheel puller (a 2 bolt vs a 3 bolt) for $5-$8 to get the old wheel off first. Post a pic when you're done.
