    it's a nardi wheel they usually make really expensive wheels for teh import world that i know of (the finer quality stuff) but to me this wheel just stood out and i thought it would be really clean in my maverick if i can get it to bolt up

    I'd like it better if the spokes and cap was chrome.

    A lot of the Grant wheels have the same mounting style as that wheel. They make kits for the Maverick so if you could get the diameter of that mounting pattern, you could compare it to a Grant.

    It looks very nice, but I don't like the angle of the spokes. You could get a factory sport wheel, paint it black (like I did) and have it leather-wrapped...

    You might want check on how deep it is. Too shallow and it will be too close to the blinker switch. I had that problem once so I sold it to Frank.

    hey TL cani get some pics of your wheel if you don't mind and who does leather wrapping and what does it run?


    see the leather is important to me as the material foam wheels are made out of i'm allergic to so it has to be a leather wheel

    Leather wrapping is expensive. There is a company in Florida that charges $180 to do this kind of steering wheel. Some of the factory sport wheels came original with leather wrap, while others were vinyl...
