GRANT makes some real nice steering wheels at reasonable prices. Wood ones too. Available at Pep Boys or online at summitracing.com

They also have a very sharp dealy that allows you to remove the steering wheel and lock a steel cap over the steering column. Making vehicle theft most difficult! I had this and really liked it. No one broke into my car after that was installed.

Momo steering wheels are probably the best looking and most comfortable steering wheels currently available, but they're the most expensive, too.

I've got some wooden Mazda steering wheel, probably 14" or so that came out of an '80 Rx-7. Looks really nice.

I like the Momo myself..

However, I have seen 7's with Wood steering wheels and wooded shift *****, and i think it looks GREAT.

With a brown interior, I think it's a must. Also, Grant steering wheels are a nice product for the price.
