    Question Steering Wheel Options

    I've seen the various wood and leather steering wheels offered by FFR and **********, but I was interested in finding a 14" Alcantara (faux suede) steering wheel, either round or D-shaped, that is a direct fit. I like the 3-spoke look of the one's offered by FFR and **********, and prefer that in polished, but I am open to anodized black spokes as well. I realize our cars have the English 6-hole configuration where the holes are offset and not equally spread. So my questions are:


    1. What options are out there that are direct-fit?
    2. If I go with a quick-release hub will that open the door to more options?
    3. Is there a way to change the English-6-hole to something more standard to open up more options?

    Pictures and links always appreciated. Thanks!

    Why not have an upholstery shop cover the wood wheel with the material, or better yet with leather?

    Ideally I'd like to go with a hub, keep the wood one and swap it out with a super-comfy one for daily driving. I could cover it, but I am looking for other options.

    Here is a quick release hub.

    I would call Mark and ask about other bolt patterns. He also sells and extra hub for exactly what your are thinking.

    If he can supply other patterns or an undrilled hub, that would open up a ton of wheel options.
