Steering Wheels

[big_c_43]

Hi everyone just wanting to know which type of steering wheels i should get for my 1985 VK Berlina sports steering, wood grain steering or just keep the original i am only considering keep the original because it is in good condition and i don't mind the orignal/nostalgia look when everything is in perfect condition.

Wood grain. Only if the Boss kit is painted to the same colour as the rest of the dash etc...
Black Boss kits don't do it. Well this is what I will probably be doing anyway unless I think of another thing.

I know what you mean. You have to match you wheel to the interior. Thats the only reason I went for a leather one in mine.

Hey that looks sweet mate it perectly matches the interior of your car i think i will have a fare bit of trouble to find a steering wheel that matches the interior of my car because it is that blue/green colour and that is why i have started this thread just to get everyones opinions about it.

i did have a woodgran one in my vh but i thought that it was time to change it looked good but nothing else in the car was brown or wood. so i got the silver and leather sports one, i wanted sumfin diff and i think the colours match well green black and silver interior. btw sorry bout the mess hte car is off the road atm so no point cleaning it really.

My sportsy. I was going to replace this wheel with a holden factory sports, same as whats in the GTS Monaros, A9X torrys.
But been thinking of a Momo Fighter or Momo Race wheel.

[big_c_43]

Thanx for ur opinions guys, where do u think would be the best place for me to get any aftermarket steering wheels besides ebay (because i dont really like buying from ebay, i do doit though but preferr not too)

[brohawk]

i bought mine from ebay $121 all up. but autobarn or motoqupe are your best bets

[big_c_43]

I have found that with my stock steering wheel is very stiff turning, will this be the same when i change the steering wheel.

[Shifty1]

Yes, yes it will.. a steering wheel doesnt control how hard it is.. hows ya P/S rack? Has ya P/S pump got fluid?

[big_c_43]

so other than how it looks the steering will not be affected at all when changing the steering wheel

Well on our old VB (no PS) I found a big difference after fitting sports wheel actually, Because of the smaller diameter, I found it mush easier to drive & was mush better on my arms/elbows, I found I couldnt drive it long distances with stock wheel as I would get pain in my elbows, RSI style.... but after sports wheel was on, that was pretty much unheard of.

have a look at the issota website they have some excellent wheels and stuff

[big_c_43]

I am thinking that i will get a woodgrain steering wheel maybe. I will post a pic of my interior when i get it back from the mechanics. And then tell me what u think, thanks

[big_c_43]

Here is a picture of my interior, so i would appreciate everyones opinions on what type of steering wheel would suit it best.

I think a black wheel would look best or maybe something with a bit of silver. A woodgrain might look ok but if your hands sweat they get slippery personally i don't like them but it's your choice.

Hey i have been thinking about still going original but getting a momo HDT wheel i have been looking on ebay and there arent to many and the ones on ebay dont look like they are in such good condition. Do u guys reckon i could get one from a reckers otherwise where else could i look for one?

Thanx

you got no hope getin an HDT momo from the wreckers, doesnt hurt to keep an eye out but i wouldnt be makin special trips there for one. Those wheels are highly sought afte by HDT purists, I reckon you'd be lookin at around $800 maybe more or less depending on condition. good luck with your search.

Sorry guys, been away and havn't been on in a while. Just want to thank you guys for your praise, it is appreciated. There has been a lot of effort, time, work and money put into the interior.

I agree that blue/green would be near impossible. My interior started life as the factory brown dash, console and carpet and the tan trim. I hated it, it was dated and ugly IMO, so I modded it to what it is now.

Tip: If you have or have access to a program like photoshop, jump on the tutorial pages for it and mod your car on the computer first.
Its much easier to stop yourself overdoing one thing and underdoing others and is much easier to change on the screen than in real life.

Good luck

go leather dude, but make sure you get a proper leather cleaner and clean it every week. Once the leather goes black, it stains.
