I kinda felt the same way but after looking at a few of them they complement the interior look quite nicely. They are very well made in Italy (not rice more like pasta i guess but not rice )

This is the one I have http://www.momousa.com/detail.php?ca...amp;product=51

If your after woodgrain.......I dont know

Happy hunting.

Grant wheels are notorious for being giant pieces of crap. The horn assemblies have a strong tendancy to short and cause sparks and fires.

When I get rich, I intend to buy a nice wood Lecarra wheel. They still make VERY nice looking wheels for classic Mustangs

Even if its the only wood grain in the car, On the steering wheel it works.

My favorite is the Moto Lita wheel what came on some of the early Shelby's. The satin aluminum looks great, not too bling, and period correct, IMO.

I am selling a Budnik billet, split grip wheel if you like this style? I kept the adapter and put my Moto Lita wheel on it instead. These things are pretty expensive, but I am not into the resto mod look for the interior so it's got to go. No reasonable offer refused. The Auto Meter Phantom gauges have also been swapped for the period correct Smith style. The Phantoms in the picture are also on the liquidation chopping block if anybody is interested.
