Steering wheel help/opinions
Hey guys, I need some opinions. All are welcome. I want a new steering wheel for my 99 Z28. One around or under $100. I still have the factory one with just the two horn buttons. I want a different steering wheel. One like seen in this video,
YouTube - ‪Street Driving w/Faceplated T56 Heads/Cam Trans Am‬‏
The guy says that he bought it off of ebay. I have looked and looked and have not been able to find it. I am wondering if you guys have seen a wheel like this anywhere other than ebay or if you can find one on ebay that will fit a 4th gen. And also what you guys think about it. Are there any other cool steering wheels out there that you like?
Thanks!

Well I used to have the 3 spoke crome one, with the holes in the spokes, in my old 66 Dodge D100! But I don't want that one, and I don't want the GT 4 spoke one either. I want a 3 spoke one but Orielys and Advanced don't have what I want. Has no one on here changed their steering wheels?

Right now I am thinking about these two!

Yes you will need an install kit on top of the cost of the wheel. $100-$150 is a reasonable budget for what you want. The kit will be about a third of that. I have to ask why you want to do this. If it is just to look cool or have something different I get it. I swapped the wheel on an 86 model I had. If it is because of wear on your stock wheel might I suggest Wheelskins. It is a leather wrap you sew onto you current wheel. I have a WheelSkins leather wrap on my wheel and it is really nice.
Another thing I would look into is how to get the air bag warning light to stay off if you swap the factory wheel for an aftermarket. You are not going to have an airbag so unless you rig it somehow the light will be on.

Yeah I don't really like the look of the 99 down steering wheels. If I had the one with the volume and cruise buttons on it id like it better but I have an aftermarket radio and aftermarket clutch and pedals so the buttons would have no funtionallity at all.
Where would I find an install kit to go with the wheel id need or want? Also does anyone know the factory steering wheel size?

I hate navigating through Summit Racing! Everything is either universal or just says Chevrolet but doesn't specify to a certain vehicle. Anyway, pretty much all I could find was this,
