I haven't measured it. I will have to do that tomorrow and post. I have a stock corvette wheel on now and it's maybe a inch are so bigger than it.;):chevy:

Re: New steering wheel

I guess I never thought of using body filler on a cracked wheel. Cant wait to see how this one turns out!

I hadn't either. I have the expoxy sitting in the garage and planed to use it when I came across a article about repairing the steering wheels with body filler. It stated as long as the cracks weren't big are all the way through to use filler so I decided to try it. None of the cracks were that bad just wanted it to look cleaner.
First time fixing a wheel so we shall see how it goes.

Thanks, I hope so to!
Well I'm off Thursday night so I hope to get it painted by the weekend. Then wait a week and spray it with the clear.
The weather has been helping me either though. Cold and raining last few days.;):chevy:

Both. The guy at paint store said at least a week of cure time and working 12hr nights and weather it maybe even longer.
Hope to get it painted tomorrow during the day at least one coat anyway.
