Very nice. Where did you get it and did it come with the horn button?

I like the vintage look as well and will be going with one of these.

**JJanzen** · 02-06-2012, 12:25 PM

I used an early 70's Cutlass Wheel, dyed it using Colorbond Competition Red #135, painted the Cutlass horn button insert and applied a laser cut "Chevrolet" bowtie and painted filled it blue.

I'm not sure who makes it, but it's on the www.ss396.com for a '69 Chevelle.

Here it is in Rosewood. I'm going to flip a coin between the 2.

That turned out slick. I am not typically a fan of 4 spoke wheels, but that turned out nice. Good job man.

Also: @LEX +1 for rosewood

Stock 3 spoke wheel and dressed it up with a CST horn button I picked up last year.

This is the wheel I would go with if I got an aftermarket one.

Love that wheel. Where did she get that one?

Leroy-B1 · 02-25-2012, 09:31 AM

Special-K came up with this for you and me I guess since I have a GMC also. Used a buick center cap and removed rubber piece that holds buick emblem had a mid 60's GMC horn button and remover rubber collar from it and epoxy glued two together for this a functional GMC center cap for comfort grip wheels...let me know what you think

For some reason cant get pics to upload...will try again later

Leroy-B1 · 02-25-2012, 02:43 PM

one more try

Leroy-B1 · 02-25-2012, 03:44 PM

**special-K** · 02-25-2012, 08:08 PM

Man,I like that! I want to do this on my saddle Olds 4-spoke Comfort Grip that's going in my '72.

66skylarkpost · 02-25-2012, 11:45 PM

jjanzen , ur olds wheels appears to be tha smaller mid-late70s olds starfire wheel . i had the 68-76 442-cutlass wheel on my '72 with the buick emblem , it was a spare , i ahve a lot of buick stuff , where ive got a 73' 455 in it . ive currently got it all apart in my garage , hoping to have it all painted before spring

, but i bought a nice black four spoke vega style with the bowtie . i have the same wheel in my 70 k10 but with a ss emble, which i may swap out

i have a 80;s monte ss wheel in my 89 c1500 silverado

JRHernandez88 · 02-26-2012, 12:53 AM

hmmm... those 15's are looking very tempting.

1badmax · 02-26-2012, 01:32 AM

I currently have one of those wood chevelle wheels but I'm changing it out with a old impala wheel so I'll sell it cheap in a few day

VWNate1 · 02-26-2012, 01:57 AM

This is a GREAT thread ! .

I can see the beauty of the stock steering wheel but some of the custom interiors here just beg for a different one .

My 69's green wheel has terrible cracks , has anyone bought the re pop ones ? I'm game but not if they're the flexy Chinese junk I've seen for other cars .

TIA ,

I've heard the repro wheels have been improved lately. I bought one in '04,hardly drove the truck and within a few years had not just a crack,but close to 1/8" separation in the rim at high noon staring at me. The rod stock they used was less than 1/2 the size of OEM. Musta saved a whole $2 a wheel! The problem now is how do you know which you're getting?

chevykevy · 02-26-2012, 11:18 AM

Stock 68 wheel , spray bombed with a retro-wrap

VWNate1 · 02-26-2012, 11:33 AM

THANX for the heads up ! .

I have 1/8" = wide cracks at the spokes and moulding joints , the Desert heat does that .

I may just well try one , my interior doesn't look as sharp as many of those posted but it's nice and I'd like to fix this .

I had the steering wheel re done on my '49 3100 , in an off white , it not only looks great but the light color means never hot even when in 125° Death Valley....

This C/10 will retain it's green one .
