4-Spoke vs. 3-Spoke Rally Steering Wheel
I finally found someone (Tamraz) to sell me the correct steering wheel hub(s) to fit the rally steering wheels on a'67.
I have the 4-spoke wheels as well as a similar Buick 3-spoke wheel.
Trying to decide which one to install in my driver while I restore the original cracked wheel.
I like both, but everyone has a 4-spoke.
The novelty of the 3-spoke appeals to me, but, I really like the looks of the 4-spoke better.
Opinions?

Go with the one that you like better - you look at it more than anyone else does. And it's temporary anyhow, unlike deciding on a paint colour.
I've got a 3 spoke in my '71 and like it.

it does not secrete the resin like the Olds wheel.
Apparently Buick used a different material in their grip.
It may or may not be temporary.
I'm sure the "fat", soft grip on the rally wheel
will feel a lot more comfortable than the skinny, hard plastic grip
on the original wheel.

That three spoke looks like a Buick GSX wheel, which was also available as an option on the Yenko Deuce. While even the repros ( no longer made) fetch a good buck, the originals are valuable. Also not factory in any other GM applications.

X2 what Stephano (good eye!) says, need better pics, but the 3 spoke does look like a valuable wheel, and I'm a Buick guy, too. Those wheels will bring 500.- 1k depending on condition and originality. 2 just sold a few weeks ago in that range. It's food for thought......
