So a friend found one of the hard to find four spoke steering wheels from a daytona and was nice enough to sell it to me. (Thanks Dave) After modifying the center hub and the plastic skirt, I am not sure if I like it in the car. Side by side to a stoke Omni wheel, the four spoke looks much better, but once it was on the car, I am not sure I like it. Top is the new wheel, bottom is the original. What do you guys think?

Yeah, I am not so sure about the stock wheel. One thing I did find out is that they L-bodies are the only TD that dont have a colapsable steering column, so the steering wheels were design to be thin and weak so if you bashed your head on it in a wreck, the steering wheel would bend instead of your skull.

I like to new one, but I'm a little partial to it since I have one on my Daytona.

Thanks for the oppinions guys. Once I find an L-body speed cable I will have to pull the wheel off to get the gauge cluster out of there to install the new cable, so by then I will have to figure out which wheel I like the best.

Well, I either have the wheels turned a little bit (its still on jack stands) or L-body steering columns are different. The teeth on the shaft in the steering column only allow the wheel to be installed in one possition.
