Well spent $80 bucks (Grant Tuff Wheel)
« on: August 09, 2008 - 07:43:43 PM »
I put on my Grant Tuff Wheel clone.  It looks great and included the horn button.  The wheel is normally $101, but Summit sent me a $30 off any $100 purchase.  So it worked out great!

I like the feel, it is not hard plastic, but it's not mushy foam either.  It has a firm (but soft) feel, if that makes any sense.

Thanks, it just bolts on to the crush can with no mods right?  I got a crush can from thr previous owner of my car a bit back and want to swap it on soon.

Yep, completely bolt-on.  They even slotted the wheel for the crush can tab, and tapped the screw holes to accept the factory horn button switch.  It took 10min to take off the old wheel and put this 1 on.  This is definitely an "instant gratification" type of project.

If you dont need the horn button you can do it for less than $40

The wheels are not the same and the smaller diameter gets in the way of viewing the rallye gauges.

That wheel is the one I replaced, it's not a bolt on, and slightly different (silver paint vs polished).  You can definitely use it, but you will have to cut the slot for the tab, drill the 3 mounting holes, and drill and tap the horn button holes.

Anyone interested can have the wheel I already modified for $30 shipped.  It'll save you $15 and it's already been modified to bolt-on.
