    Anyone have or know where I can find a metalflake steering wheel with FINGERGRIPS!!!! I repeat FINGERGRIPS!!!! I know one place that reprodruces some, but for the price I think I would be better off finding an original. Color I would be interested in: orange,red,silver, gray, gold, copper, (or any other neutral looking color).

    if your talking about the blue one that was featured in Rod & Custom a month or so back its made by Julianos.com but it is "painted" on the wheel not a rubber metalflake like your used to. looks neat i would like to get one myself.

    Find a cool lookin wheel, ship it to me, I'll flake the **** out of it in any color, and ship it back. Done deal. I'm tired of those 3 spoke, everyone has one, its only cool cuz its got metalflake on it, wheels.

    I'm sure you know Monn has them without finger grips, but is there a way you can put grips in it? Just a thought.

    PAG,

    I've seen flake wheels on Ebay but I don't know if they have the grips or not. Night Prowlers lists them too but again, I don't know if they have the grips. I e-mailed them once and they got right back to me so maybe you could ask.

    i saw the wheel in person at the L.A. Roadster Show, Juliano's had a booth and i checked it out. the wheel didn't have a rubber texture to it like the moon ones do. it had more of a paint film to it. i didn't have a chance to talk to anyone at the booth about it though, they were a bit busy.

    i looked at these in louisville. the juliano wheels are just a regular hard wheel with the flake painted on. they sell just the plain wheel with the holes or slots, and they are cheaper than the flaked ones. can always get a plain one and one-off it to your specs.
