Wow, that's an excellent deal. I just ordered a Budnik steering wheel on E-bay, $450. Any specials on wheels from Santa? I can't believe I missed out

I have one of your wheels, and love the design and quality, but I've always wanted to sell it for one main reason. Have you ever considered making them in a thicker rim diameter? It just feels so small in my hands. I prefer the feel of a much thicker wheel. I think a lot of others would as well judging by the popularity of wheels like momo, sparco, etc.

I have been with the company for 10 years and have had maybe 5 or so customers say that. We would have to make all new Dies and Inserts which is not cheap. Some people like a full leather wrap and will take it and have it stitched.

I am so tempted for the '67 El Camino...if I get the column in this weekend and try the wood wheel I'll make a decision.

Dangit...now I have to make a decision. That Chicane sure would look good in there with a Black grip.

If I were you I'd toss the Grant wood wheel.
Makes the old truck look outdated. I vote for a Budnik steering wheel. Bring the truck into this century.

Thanks for re-posting that image...I have been looking for those bracket spacers for three days now and I at least know now they exist lol!

The old wheel does look kind of out of place for some reason...will be even more so if/when I put the BMW seats in there. Believe I will pull the trigger on a newer looking part. :drive:

[HandOverFist]

Jay - Any news on the shipping status for the new wheel?

lol

[Shawn01754]

My wheel is due the 24th. I can't wait. Love what Budnik is putting together and it's affordable. I'll post some pics.

I've never understood why someone will spend $50-80k on a car and then put a $40 grant steering wheel on it. Fn rednecks

Which one did you order? Mine shipped Monday, but don't have a tracking number.

[Shawn01754]

I ordered the Revolver with charcoal center and white grip. I'm so glad... I almost ordered the Pontiac factory sport wood wheel that was used in 1969. Would have been decent but the Budnik wheel with the legendary rally seat kit should look wild.

Rich what wheel did you order, that Elcamino is awesome. I thought it was a ford pick up by the interior pic. Goes to show you what I know lol

[HandOverFist]

Lol...it is the Chicane w/black grip.

[Shawn01754]

I like that design as well. Good choice in my opinion.

Got home this evening just about dark and spied a package on the front porch...

This is the first aftermarket wheel I have ever purchased other than the cheap one's I usually put in the race vehicles...even my '55 Chevy had the factory wheel. This Chicane is going to look stunning in the El Camino for sure...I'll try to get it installed this weekend and post pic's of it in-car. Thanks to Jay once again. :drive:

OMG That Looks Awsome! That's perfect for your ride. Great choice of style and color. I'll post a picture of mine Saturday. Haha!!

[HandOverFist]

Yeah, I'm thinking it will look kind of sexy even when viewed from the front. :cheers:

[Shawn01754]

The first thing that came to mind was "wow" and then oh, wow (2nd wow) They even coat the grip part That's hot.

[HandOverFist]

Yep...looks right at home in there. :usa:

That's a great design Rich and looks modern and at home. Here's my wheel. The white seems a bit over the top and I tried to get some sunlight on the wheel as the top will be down most of the time. With parchment interior and a white rag top I think it will tone down. I might try to spray the leather with the metallic parchment coating. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Awsome quality

[HandOverFist]

Kind of has that "Star Wars" look about it. :drive2:

[ssx]

Awesome looking steering wheels. The last 3 sets of road wheels I've run on my cars have all been Budniks����

Haha! That's the look I was going for. Sorta of "Use the force Luke" but More of the Dark Side approach Lol

Back growing up, my Dad had a Elcamino He bought new. He worked it to death. But we missed it when he bought a new truck. However, every time we seen an Elcamino, he demanded we salute. And in all fairness your Elcamino deserves the same... The tradition lives on! .. Looks great

[HandOverFist]

Thank you Shawn...I'm trying! :)

[swain]

Looks great
