Steering Wheel Opinions.

[Gran Patron]

Sup, fellars. Im looking into buying this steering wheel for my truck since the one I have on now is in pretty bad shape. This is the actual steering wheel im looking to buy. Is brand spanking new,never used. It was for a custom 96'conversion van made by Southern Comfort. It'll only fit 96-97 since the air bag system was changed in 98'. I alomst bought a 98' steering wheel but found out it wont work on a 96-97'.

Do ya'll think it'll look good with my gray interior or will it clash? I like the look on it but Im undicided if tan will be good if I just left it like that.

I like it, nice to know you at least have an option with airbags.

Yeah, do you think that tan on the steering will look good with the gray interior?

I know it's neutral color but im to picky when it comes to things looking right.:cool:

Um, that steering wheel won't look good with that gray interior, I would try to find one completely black or gray instead of tan.

Spray dye it...i have done wheels before. it holds up great because the leather is porus. Just re-dye the whole thing one color.

[RAPID]

Ive done the same and never had a problem with color fade.

that is a good looking steering wheel....tough call on the color :dunno:

[Gran Patron]

I was thinking about dye but I just rather try to find another color. The guy who his sellig them has plenty of color combos just not fo a 96':banghead:

I agree the tan and gray will be off.

Who is the source for the steering wheel? I need to replace my worn steering wheel on my 97 GMC.

I have a factory steering wheel off of my 99 Chevy Tahoe that I am trying to sell. Let me know if you are interested. It's in good condition. I took it out because I bought a billet steering wheel.

Damn the bad luck. It's a 99 so it wont fit on my 96' cuase of the different air bag system,from what I been told. Thanks.

Are you sure? because it's the same body style as your 96.

[96thebossgrnchv]

yeah it's a different steering wheel for the 96-97 from what i've read also

Well, the guy at autowoods told me the 96-97 air bags are smaller than the 98+. I was going to buy a leather carbon fiber steering wheel he had listed for 98-2002 trucks. But he told me it wouldnt work and that's when he sent me the pics to the steering wheel above. He said it's made just for 96-97's and his done all types of conversions.

Cool, good information to know.

where can I find a billet steering wheel, especially for a 99 tahoe. Did the airbag create any issues or any modifications or what it a straight kit.

You can use a 98-99 air bag in the wheel by just swapping out the clock spring. Then you can add audio controls also. I did this in my 97z-71 Much nicer wheel
