Art & Inspiration Steering Wheel Picture Thread - Show us what TURNS You!

The one in my '35 Chevy (Mooneyes) and the pearled OEM one going in my '46 Olds. Almost forgot the pearled OEM wheel on my old '66 Fairlane.

 

I picked this up a few years back would love to know what's it is off - it has six bolts fixing to a Ali boss ,ignore the horn button I put that on

I just picked up this 15 inch aluminum steering wheel to resell. It looks like the one that 32coupedeville had in his Model A phantom tub. The center is a little different. I wish it had the writing like his does. I think someone will have to have it for their hotrod. The center will have to be made up to adapt to another type of shaft. Here are some pics. I will post the other one I mentioned as well. Mine will be first. I need to find his pics.

 

Here is the one 32coupedeville had in his tub. I would say they are the same manufacturer if I had to guess. His carnival ride wheel is really cool if you ask me.

 

This is what I made for my Ranchero- It's a '64 Comet wheel with the chrome divisions for the two-tone. I welded in butterfly spokes (had to cut away the plastic, then glue the pieces back after) and formed a new center section around the spline. Horn button is an Impala taillight ring with a shortened Moon bullet in the center. It's pretty beat up after 6 years, but it was green and black, need to repaint! I really wanted a Merc S-22 wheel, but too much money! This was my "more time than money" version...

 

Working on getting this Bell wheel set up in my 34 right now. I love Bell wheels. I have the original center cap for it as well. Gonna be tuff.

 

Has this one been mentioned on this thread?

Easily the coolest in this whole thread!

 

Not really 'favorites; but just for
their shear inherent 'wonkiness'
and "nutso factor" - I present
for your perusal, edification and
amazement - 1) "the all new, 1958
Edsel with magic 'Teletouch drive '
gear selection!" steering wheel - "
and - 2) - "the 'space-age modern'
Citroen DS Mono-spoke" steering
wheel!! Neither in my estimation, is
exactly 'hot-rod' material, but maybe
an idea at least, for use in some full-tilt
'radical custom' perhaps???

Looks like an airplane yoke. Very cool.

 

Here's my Limeworks Wheel on a Limeworks Roadster column in my '41 Ford Pickup:

I'm not a fan of new stuff on old rides, but I always liked this aluminum one from Speedway, that has the little grip bumps on the flip side. So, I gave it a shot. After awhile, I was feeling a little creepy about it & felt that it might be clashing with the old stuff. There are so many great old wheels out there, which this thread makes obvious.

Then, I stumbled upon this old concha that someone adeptly grafted to an old beat-up screw on gas cap...probably an old bike. I removed the screw part & (lo & behold) the thing snapped right on the three bolts that hold the wheel to the column. We all know that it is RARE that something like this would happen. It was a sign that it's a keeper.

I'm glad some one posted a '61 impala wheel. I'm on a hunt for one for my '62 but either people hate them and just through them away or they love them and hoard them from anyone else.
