go on ebay and look up "grant steering" you'll have a ton of choices of 20-70 dollar steering wheels...then find get a grant install kit that works on your car (usually about 15-20 on ebay) instal is a piece of cake...just make sure u put it on straight.

Get a quick release hub and wheel. There really cool and it’s also harder to steel you car

Try to avoid getting anything under 350-360mm. Lower than that, the upper rim covers the top of the tach...It's kind of annoying :P

Yeah..I found out the hard way -.-

When I bought my GTU, the previous owner had put on some stupid, red-stitched black leather wheel...I think it was 340mm...

3000-5000rpm was covered :P However, keep in mind, I'm only 5' 8" or so. If you are taller, it could cover a good bit of the speedo, and other gauges, too...

That was the case with the wheel on my car. Til I got a Nardi. I've got a grant hub for sale. I"ll do $25 shipped to anywhere.(Shamless Plug)
