Does anybody own one that can give me their opinion, or am i better off restoring an original that are tough to find ?? Thanks

To me an A12 car deserves a correctly restored / original or an nos. The repops the grain is different and the polished spokes are both killers, but thats my opinion

The polished spokes are the easy part, I can take care of that before it ships.

My customer already had his Cuda wheel done , I wouldn't be happy with it but he is and thats all that matters. But I've seen the repop wheels and , And don't get me wrong are nice and fill a much needed void. But, are nothing like an original , thus why I said - 'depends on your intentions for the car'

They each sell for a different price. When I look at a car interior at a show it's pretty obvious which one is on the steering column. If you actually drive the car it will wear, so buy accordingly. Good luck!

Hard to say how it came without the broadcast sheet, I am restoring a bee right now and unfortunately I have the broadcast sheet which tells me it didn't have it. Guess it saved me some money. They look great, might throw one on anyway.

We can replace the switch in any rimblow steering wheel made including all Mopar, Ford, AMC and GM models. We have new switches in stock so turn around is typically the next day.
