67-68 Walnut Steering Wheel - N34 (GM 9746195)
 
Currently have an original 16" walnut steering wheel (GM #9746195) installed on my 68, however requires restoration due cracks around the spoke area. While searching for a replacement NOS walnut steering wheel, I came across two reproduction woodgrain steering wheels offered on two web sites:

https://www.rickscamaros.com/camaro-...1967-1968.html

https://www.classicindustries.com/pr...s/9746195.html

Upon a close review of the two steering wheels, I noticed subtle differences between the two. One has the original appearance of a two piece spoke design (like the original) and the other is a one piece spoke design with a "ring" tacked to the face of the spoke to give it the appearance of a two piece design.

Saying this, I would like to know if there is a manufacturer who reproduces the wood grain steering wheel like the original in both the spoke design and the wood grain texture?

Thanks

No, the repro wood wheels look really bad. Find a nice original, they’re out there. Yours should be the 2 piece spoke design by the way.
