It probably drives better with a Formula wheel over that plastic one.

LOL....it does! Kinda. I can tell a slight difference because the wheel is slightly smaller in diameter to the old. I'm used to it already though!

I'll tell you about the worst kind of wheel for safe driving...
The factory installed woodwheel on my GTO ragtop is so pristine you'd swear it was NOS (the car is a low mile garage kept puff but the original owner hated how hard the rim was so 95% of her 69,000 miles was done with a leather wrap.

The wheel is so nice I'm afraid to really hold it as I drive giving the acidic oils eminating from human palms. I'll probably total the car one day to save the rim from wear!
