Hi, wheelman

Does this have the same bolt pattern as Vette or Camaro ? Looks very nice.

Thanks,

I don't think so, but I might be able to design a custom hub for other applications. Let me know if your interested.

How about a hub for the real wood Grant wheels?

BTW... your products look awesome. Great work.

Thanks, I suppose I could redesign the grant hub into a billet stainless piece. That would be pretty cool. You'd still have to use the Grant horn button though.

I was hoping you could make something better than what Grant has so we could use the Pontiac emblem like what's in the original horn buttons on the original Pontiac steering wheels. Thanks tho...

I could design a Grant type horn button that would accept an original emblem. Your talking about the 65-68 emblem like this one?

[GT182]

Yep, that's the one. Sure would look more original with a better horn button and that emblem. If you can do it you've already got one sold.

Looks pretty cool just like that...

Instead of the ring, do a chrome chain and watch the sales go through the roof!
Seriously - You're doing some awesome work! Can't wait to see the finished product.

PS - Your website and pics are first class also!

Tho not much to hang on to. LOL

It would also be nice wrapped like the T/A and Formula steering wheels.... Leather. 64, you could vary your final product and appeal to all sorts of muscle car ans classics owners.

I like the '64 wood wheel so much more than the rediculous very deep '66 wood wheel.

Glad to see all the comments. Any other ideas for adapting to other applications? Buick, Olds, ???

64 Buick Wheel not yet reproduced. Different spokes, but it appears the construction, plastic mold would be the same.

Unfortunately the 64 Chevelle wheel is already reproduced:

[64woodwheel]

I like the looks of the Buick wheel too. I think the same vendor made these as well as the Chevelle, Corvair, and Corvette wood wheels. They are all constructed pretty much the same.

I was reading on a Chevelle forum that a lot of people are not happy with the texture or total lack of texture with the Chevelle reproduction. Here is what a NOS 64 Corvette wheel looks like

[60sstuff]

The construction of all the GM spoked wheels in the 60's cars seem to be by the same manufacture. Does anyone know who this was? Below are pics of my original 65-66 Corvette teakwood wheel (with 63-64 horn button) that I acquired back in 1975 which shows the same spoke finish, chamfering, etc. as the beautiful 64 Pontiac wheel in this thread.

This particular wheel made of such hard wood would splinter like glass in a crash doing major harm to the driver which was the main reason for it's demise.

[64woodwheel]

I'd love to just talk to someone who worked in the plant that made these.

Are there layers of laminated wood sandwiched between the front and back (grips) ?

Makes me wonder whats on the inside. Flat steel ring? or just wood all the way through?

This looks like something I could do too. I doubt if anyone is making these in real wood are they?

[dld]

better hurry and find one......... LOL
