    The world is full of choices. One old standby is the Wheel Shoppe banjo pictured below.

    One I haven't used, but looks intrigueing is an outfit called Con2r: http://www.con2r.com/steering-wheels/ use the "design" links on this page and see all the ways you can personalize what they offer. Interesting concept.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Bob, is that really a PINK wheel cover? If it's yours, I hope Pops doesn't see it after all the trouble he was given over his "pink" frame.

    Purple!!! It's Purple.........................

    Yeah, that's my old car, but I sold it without upholstery. My guess is that's the effect of the flash. In person it looked the same color as the rest of the interior.

    Oh sure, Bob, we believe you! After all, you were so understanding when my pictures looked like they might be pink, why wouldn't I extend the same courtesy to you????????????

    Looks like the guys caught you, didn't they??

    Grant has come out with a new line of wheels,might check out their web page. Wheels are a personal thing, what works for one person won't work for another.

    As much as I like the 'banjo' wheels, if you were to line 10 rods up in a row, I would bet there would be 3 (or more) that had some iteration of one. That's when, to me, it becomes a follow me kind of thing and rods are supposed to be an individual statement. I'm not crazy about mine, but the leather wrap does match the interior and LeCarra wheels are only on one or 2 of that lineup.
