What are the opinions on who makes the best reproduction Tuff Steering Wheel, both in appearance and quality?

I asked this question a while back. None are exact but some are fairly close. Kinda up to you the buyer to decide on which one you prefer.

Understood, although it is a bit difficult to judge from a online picture and description. That’s why I thought I would ask to get some replies of maybe what not to buy. So if there is anything that anyone could share both good and bad about a particular wheel it would be appreciated. Thanks!!

The Grant wheel looks pretty good too.
Comes in a bigger diameter for manual steering applications.

I’m steering (no pun intended) away from the Grant. Looking for original diameter and to me the Grant looks least like an original tuff. I will look into Flaming River and Thanks for the reply’s!

When I looked in to them I noticed that some had a hard grip, some with a softer wrapped grip, some didn`t have the brushed finish, different spokes etc. All were different in some way but some were closer than others.. I don`t remember which one I liked the best at the time. Maybe it was none as I never bought one. That was why I answered that way as opinions vary among people and unless you have access to every one of the wheels to see in person you will be guessing as which one is best for you.

I went with the PG leather wrapped wheel. I like the look of it a lot more then the Grant wheel. I don't like how the vinyl transitions to the spokes on the Grant wheel. The problem with the PG wheels is that the horn switch mounting holes are tapped metric. Since the spokes are stainless, it makes re-tapping them a PITA. It looks like they list that on their website now...along with what screws will fit. Also, it marketed as having polished spokes but the polishing job was very poor. The spokes looked more brushed then polished.

[i][/i]Thank you everyone for your opinions. Just what I was looking for. I know there is no “exact” replacement but looking for as near as possible to an original. Any other opinions/suggestions would be great!
