Any updates here? Did anyone install their wheel yet? How did it go? How well does it work? I ordered one and got it today. Won’t be able to install for another month or so. Thanks.

My experience with a new 1971 Charger was that the rim blow horn was a pain to drive with- always hitting the horn by accident- esp in town- and the switch was replaced 2 times- many defective- once had to wait several weeks as they were back ordered. Great looking wheel than and the new repro

Installed my Classic Rimblow wheel today, took about 5 minutes and it looks great and works perfect. Zero issues.

Oh boy, a repro that fits well, looks good, and functions properly right out of the box, that is now on back order, only means it will probably be discontinued, or farmed out to a "high volume" vendor that will fubar it in a redesign to make it cheaper/faster...

Dave at Roseville may have some in stock. They give discounts to members here. Doesn't hurt to check it out.

I found an issue with my Rimblow. Today I was at car show and it was 89 degrees outside. When driving home, I noticed that the silver trim tape around the circumference was lifting up all around. I looks like little peaks where it is lifting up. I installed this wheel 2 weeks ago. Anyone else notice this?
If anyone knows better tape I could use, that would be great. I don't mind re-taping this area.

False alarm on the chrome tape lifting up. It was just a very thin protective plastic coating that you remove. So all is good. For those with this steering wheel, just remove the cover.
