I'm a simple guy so I don't like a lot of flash. I really kind of like the stock wheel in my 85 coupe. Here is a wheel I've used a good many times in a good many of my cars. It's inexpensive, looks suttle and I just like it despite it's low price (about 40 dollars).

I have that same wheel in my car. I really like the feel to it.. Its got a cushion feel to it so it doesnt make your hands sweat up and get uncomfortable. I had a plastic Grant wheel on before and didnt like it because it was hard plastic and didnt feel good after holding it for 10 mins.

That's the one I was looking at because it was the cheapest, lol. I would like one with the horn button though...

Edit: Does it have a horn button, or is the middle thing (that moved a little in the package) actually a horn? If so, it's not as good as the smaller horn button...I might just have to pay more to get the other one just because of how much I like the horn button, unless there is an alternative??

So it's just bigger without a spring loaded like the more expensive ones?

I like the button because its kind of firm. My other grant had a very sensitive button and would always accidentally make the horn go off

That chain link wheel is sweet ahah. Iv got a stock wheel still but i would go with that basic one. Im all about making the interior look nice but would rather put the money to something useful
