The full size clear and colored steering wheels are bigger diameter than the GTO steering wheels.

It's the only way we can consider doing the FS and FB.

This project is the most difficult we've ever attempted. I hope more than 30 people would buy a 67 or 68 wheel!

Hi Guys. Yes, the wheel project is moving forward. I have seen samples of the wheel and it looks very good. The metal spoke inserts fit very well. The next thing we are waiting for is the center of the wheel to the top of the column. The mfg needs to shape it to fit the column better. Once that happens, I think we are good to go... We are also working on the center cap too... I have seen the green lucite insert and that looks real nice... I'll see if I get some pictures of the wheel & cap posted... Gp

Any idea if blue will be an available color?

We were toying with the idea of doing popular colors, but not sure yet. If we do colors, we'll do Red, Blue & Ivy Gold. Once the black comes out and see how they are selling, we can do another batch of colors. Hopefully the Pontiac community will realize this wheel is available for all models... The FB & full size wheel are a different size than the GTO, but not noticeable...

Does this imply that the black wheel is the same size (GTO or full size)???
|
#31
|
||||
|

no... the FB & full size are the same wheels and the GTO is another. If you had them next to each other, you can tell, but just by looking at them you can't. Please continue to take the poll at the beginning of this thread. Thx!

It certainly doesn't look very round. I sure hope this is a GTO wheel?? Last edited by Sidponcho; 07-07-2016 at 09:20 AM. |

Your measurements are for the GTO wheel. These wheels are not truly round... If you measure along the horizontal spoke, you get 16", but if you turn it 90° I get 15-1/2"

Thanks, All
If anyone needs anything off this wheel for the repro, just let me know. Close-ups etc |

Thanks. We already have made the 67 spokes WITH the horn buttons and contact wiring AND the 68 spokes without the buttons but with the harness. We are working on the center cap now...

Bump.
Just wanted to see where this is at after over a half year of silence. |

Yep, curious here too ... will be needing one in the next year.

I want to know what the new wheel weighs, compared to the heavy original.
Me thinks an ivory wheel would be stunning with the Parchment Interior. --> Can PY make that wheel on the "Cars" Album cover? |
