Official Metal Flake Steering Wheel Pic and ID Thread...

Other than the Bell sprint car stuff, probably one of, if not the first aftermarket three spoke chrome hot rod/custom type wheels. A similar version can still be got today from marine retailers with stainless spokes. http://shopping.rexmar.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=covico3bolt

 

Man we need to bring this thread back, these wheels are cool, just bought one tonight from a fellow hamber

 

bttt

 

Mine arrived today, hopefully I will get it installed this weekend

 

Clashes with your nail polish, Frank

 

Ha! That's my wife being the hand model!

 

Sometimes a pic. of a hand is all it takes for me.........Later

 

Have a nice 14 1/2 inch Superior, but it's too small for my 59 GMC. So, I'm looking for a nice Superior 500, 16 inch.

 

Muttley;That was FUNNY!!!!

what about these guys for new color choices?
sorry cant get the link to the steering wheel page to paste on this pos tablet.
click shop up top and steering wheels on the side.

 

There's a Seinfeld clip for just about everything.

 

Anyone recognize this wood rimmed wheel? I've never seen another. I think it could be an Ansen because of the spokes but I've never seen a wood one before, let alone a flat one.

 

Might be just me but I'm having a hard time seeing what it is. Maybe a pic from a different angle? Is it holes and slots or just slots

OK on a PC I got the link to paste

 

I couldn't find one I liked. So I made one.
I recovered my half wrap Pete & Jake's steering wheel with gold Zodiac vinyl. It was a real pain trying to get that stuff to mold around that wheel. It doesn't have a lot of stretch
And it isn't as quite as sparkly as the flake wheels, but it looks pretty good.

 

impressive! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

i flaked one for a friends buick wagon.....with some candy faded and goldleaf..

 

That's pretty cool

 

I just scored this on eBay...I believe it's an Ansen.

 

My contribution

 

Yup, looks like an Ansen to me. I have a rusty gold one like yours but nowhere as pretty

 

Anyone have a green wheel they just have to part with? If so I can help..........

 

I stay off ebay for these so I dont get in you guys way.
When I get a color chosen I will buy new as I dont place extra value on authenticity.
Great Thread.
Congrats IIFunny

 

This is in my model A

I just put a Blue one on my f100!

 

Took some years to finally find one but went picking yesterday at a metal scrapper & he had one. Gold & was pretty dirty. Still need to work on the chrome but pretty cool. 14 1/2". Assume it's a Covino? 3 holes.
Too bad I sold my Stude. Might have to buy another old car build around the steering wheel. He had some cool stuff!
