Default Opinions Needed pretty please.

Good morning all, yup I'm a wake at silly o clock once again and this time its my shoulder that's playing up, its killing me I don't what I've done too it.

Right ladies and gents Opinions are needed, for the first time in a long time I'm undecided on which one too go for.

I'm looking at Steering for my probe, the original is badly faded and when I took the steering well cover off, it stripped the leather and stitching its falling part, so looking for a replacement and I've found three stunning vintage wheels Chrome and wood.

Wanting too give the Ford a nice Motorsport/ Classic wheel.

They look so good I just can't decide which one I like best, I'm just staring at them and I just can't decide, normally I just go for it and its job done, but this time I can't.

I've got the pictures of them here.

If you had a choice on which wheel you'd put on your car gladly which of these would you go for?

Photo wheel 1
photo wheel 2
Photo wheel 3

Also a photo of the car with the original steering wheel, which will up give a rough idea.

Hi Davey,
They all look great, it's going to be a hard job deciding which one to choose, but at the end of the day you are the one that will be looking at it every time you get into the Probe.......
Just seen you pic of the original wheel, whichever you choose you will loose your S/W controls, can you get your old wheel refurbished?

Cheers
Gareth

Morning Gareth how you doing buddie,

Your telling me, too be honest the wheel with the most votes will be the one I go for, because they all look good.

I can't decide as I visualise them in my mind they all look fantastic on the car.

Cheers for the vote tho.
If there was a way too Modify the 75/ZT Walnut wheel and put it on the car I would.

Just seen edited post now, I never use the switches and I've disabled cruise control as well.

It never worked as the unit was faulty and doesn't respond.
I do fancy a change of steering wheel tho.

But those 3 I simply I can't decide, what ever the ladies and gents think is the best out of three I'll go for it.

Its a nice wheel, but compare too those 3 with the wood and chrome.

Its top trumped, Plus it will bring the interior out a bit more too.
it will be a nice change too.

I really like all three wheels but I'd stay original if it was me. It's not me tho! Airbags can be deleted, many are with modified cars. Wouldn't worry about that beyond the obvious safety issue!
