Forgot the new steering wheel.

I made a post earlier about the new radiator install and forgot about the new steering wheel I installed it last week. Its a 15.5" made by Budnik Its called Tri-oval I had it powder coated gray ( pic came out looking silver) to match my Billet Specialties wheels. I've had the same Grant wood steering wheel for over 25 year on the truck and thought it was time for a change. It took 7+weeks to get delivered, I think it was worth the wait.

Re: Forgot the new steering wheel.

Nice looking wheel! Are all the edges radiused? I have the stainless wheel with wood from LMC, and the steel is a stamping with some square edges. I have to get around it with a deburring tool one of these days.

Re: Forgot the new steering wheel.

Thank you. All the edges are very "smooth" to the touch.

Cool. I don't want to drop more money on another steering wheel. I wish that I had seen this first. The wood also cracked on mine, so maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet on another new one. Nice to see good-looking options.

Re: Forgot the new steering wheel.

Thanks you for the compliments. Not easy picking out a new steering wheel. There are so many choices today it's unbelievable! It took me months to decide on this one. I used my Billet Specialties Speedway wheels as inspiration to have Budnik make this one for me. I couldn't be happier.
