I am about to replace my old and cracked steering wheel and I love the grant design. I saw a black one once and loved it. I actualy have never seen the wood one yet...

Which one would you pick?

Thanks! (still 14 days to wait until I get the car back with rebuilt engine and T5 )

I like those, keep in mind the kind of driving you are going to do. For track use, I like the grant.

67 evil eleanor's photo gallery 		I have a couple of Grants. They are a little more comfortable for me as far as driving, especially on the track car. The Moto Lito's are my favorite, looks wise, but feel a little small. The only trouble that I have had with the Grant's is the horn button. I think all aftermarket wheel suppliers could do a better job with those.

I had no idea so many people have had trouble with Grant horns... Ouch.
FWIW, if you have a black interior like mine, black definitely looks better.
