    Default Steering wheel pics?

    Would anyone be willing to share pics of your steering wheels?

    It's on my mind to find a new one -- mine is pretty worn, and I can't find a cover that I like.

    TIA!

    Side note, but what kind of equalizer is that and how did you install it? Do you have any close-up pics of it? I think it looks awesome!

    Thanks, It's a ford EQ, it lights up red and everything. It works with my factory deck when I had it in there, it's all hooked up with harnesses. It's actually the reason why I joined this site, to try to find out info, but I was told it wasn't an option, so somebody at some point may have added it, or perhaps it was dealer installed... but I don't know how likely that is. I also have an overhead clock with dome lights (clock works, but dome light is not hooked up right now), I think that may be from an Escort GT??

    Default Wheels

    Wow, The Momo and the Grant wheels look pretty nice in there. I have an 83 I think I would love to have anything but the cheesomatic that is in there right now. What kind of suggestions do you guys have for changing a wheel out?

    Love the wheels!

    But the Grant is my favorite.

    Anyone have an old school three spoke wheel?

    Lol...I have a quick ratio steering rack and oversized power steering pulley, so it's kind of like driving a go-kart. When you turn the wheel, it turns immediately.
