i like the grant walnut steering wheel. I dont know what size will be best. 13 1/2 0r 15?

i have a 66 coupe with power steering but i am removing the power part

 

15 will definitely help with that lack of power steering...

is your PS setup for 8cyl or 6? I would be interested in buying it from you if its for a 6.

 

+1

If you put the little one on parking the car will be a bitsch.

 

i have a 13.5 inch one. and i removed my PS. and im not trying to brag, but im pretty strong so i dont think its gonna be a problem for me

 

Depending on where you live, the little one might not pass inspection.

Years ago in Virginia, 13.5" would not have been big enough even for a Pinto. I believe the official wording there was "not less than OE diameter", though individual stations would commonly cut you a little slack as long as the wheel didn´t look ridiculously small and you weren´t trying to sneak all sorts of other "unapproved" stuff past them.

im pretty sure california doesnt have that law. cause everyone has an aftermarket steering wheel around here. and im pretty sure if its a nice looking classic the cops wouldnt do anything. my friend wanted to get a 10 inch wheel for his bug. but his dad got him a 13 inch for christmas. he was kinda bummed. but he sold the car so it doesnt matter.

 

Naw man. You thinking all wrong.


You need you an 8" chain-link beaner wheel.


Dats style.

 

yeah those are pretty funny. i seen em at vic hubbards. you could totally just make one of those though. just wrap a chain around a large cylinder and weld the hell outta it.

 

If you don't have PS, anything under 13" is a pain.

If you don't have Rack & Pinion, smaller wheels can make steering squirelly in city traffic. Lock to Lock is 2½ turns.

Some Grant wheels are really cheap. I got one with a horn button that's cheap like a toy. One of the few mistakes I made. I should have spent the dough and bought a Ford wheel. If you get a Grant wheel, save the receipt and the box; you might need it.

ALL Grant wheels are cheap:-| I haven't talked to a single person who hasn't had the horn button either fall off, short out in a shower of sparks, short to constant-on, or just plain not work.

I'm saving for a Moto-Lita or Lecarra wheel
