Steering Wheel Type

[Jeff09]

Hey Everyone,

I haven't found an answer to this question by searching, so I thought I'd throw it out for discussion.

I am going to replace the hard plastic aftermarket steering wheen on the 1971 Bronco I am putting back in shape.

There are a lot of different choices.... I know some wheels sold by Bronco speciality shops are leather-wrapped. I'm not sure if this would be best when most of my driving will be off-road. Grant offers a lot of different combinations (polyurethane/leather, leather, leather/vinyl, foam, vinyl/polyurethane, vinyl, rubber, polyurethane, suede/leather and suede).

I want something that will hold up to sweat and dirt, and have good grip under those circumstances.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Jeff

I've had a vinyl covered Grant Gt wheel in my cj5 for 12 years now and other than a little haze/ corrosion on the metal parts it is holding up well

Thanks for the input. That's one of the wheels I was looking at... least it is a Grant GT. I went ahead and bought it after reading your post.

Thanks again.
