I'm switching my wheel out to something aftermarket and have two of them. Don't get me wrong, I like the factory one but I don't want anymore wear on the simulated woodgrain than there already is.

Personally, I think a woodgrained wheel would look in your car. It would certainly go with your dash. However, I don't like the 4-spoke design. I think a wood rimmed wheel in a 3-spoke design would look cool.
And again, this is just my opinion.
 
I like that GP foam wheel. Second choice would be a Formula/TA wheel.
 
I'm kinda leaning towards the 3 spoke too because it looks more factory. I had the 4 spoke in a different car and wasn't crazy about how it felt while driving.

It's actually a cheap $35 Grant wheel disguised with a $10 Pontiac horn button :lol:
 
Fooled me! Here's a TA wheel with St. Christopher medal horn button. Notice how I cleverly used SEM Colorcoat to match the interior color.

That's a pretty nice set-up, especially with the 4 speed and the console. How hard did you have to look to find that color?
 
It's called Regal Blue and is discontinued. I found a case online at a bodyshop supply place in Michigan so I grabbed the whole case.

While we're at it, did your car come with that tach or did you install that cluster? I found the silver face tach I was looking for and haven't gotten around to monkeying with it yet. I hope getting it to work isn't too much of a headache.
