Becareful if you take the airbag out. You don't want it to go off in your face.

billet makes the sickest wheels i've seen around, that is if you don't mind paying for it. my wheel was 200, half wrap is 40, adapter is 50 and the horn plate is 30. very, very nice product

Grant Challenger....good quality (although the paint is starting to flake after 4 years of hard abuse,) and very affordable.

pardon the grunge

It's an old pic, but the wheel still looks the same.

I have this one and it says "corsa" on the bottom flat of it. I do plan on putting a NASCAR release pin to remove the wheel for anti-theft.

It's really a very old pic. That carpet is currently in a landfill somewhere in the central Alabama area.


As for the wheel...I used Grant's adapter kit (same one for all their wheels) and it bolted right in. The 8 allen-head bolts aren't what hold the wheel on, they just hold the 2 spoke plates together. It has the regular big nut on the steering shaft behind the horn button. I really only have one problem with that wheel....sometimes when I really PLOW the horn because some jerk cut me off the horn button will come loose.
