First off, dont want a grant wheel laugh2 . Has anyone used the one available at BEA parts? I see the flaming river piece looks good, but the for that money it should be an exact repo IMO. Any recommendations?

Not used any. BE&A usually has nice products. Did you call and ask about the wheel?

I have not looked at any of the reproductions, but if you run out of options you could pick up a used one and have the outside foam redone.

If I recall original tuff wheels require their own steering column adapter too. If you go with restoring a used one make sure you get all the parts.

AFAIK no one is redoing the outside foam grip, in foam, there are individuals doing leather sewn on grips, I've seen them in person, not bad, but not correct if that's a concern

as far as Tuff wheel adapters, B and A bodies need the adapters, E bodies don't need an adapter, tuffs bolt right on, although the factory never offered a tuff wheel on an E body...strange?

Here is a pic of my current wheel. Pretty sure its all original. Just too big. I think it uses the same adapters the tuff wheel does.
