WTB: Grant GT or similar steering wheel for 73 Omega

Looking to replace the stock wheel on my Omega as its old and shitty looking, I'm just looking for a cheap wheel preferably a Grant GT of the style below or similar, but really, I'll be happy with any racing wheel that suits the car, I would like one that already has the proper installation kit included as I'm having some trouble online finding a wheel I like, that I can afford, that will fit the installation kit for my car, or maybe I am just an idiot.

Not looking to spend too much money, about what the same as this wheel goes for new, but hey throw me an offer, I can't stand the stock wheel anymore haha, and this alone would go a long way.

i can help

I have one of those but with the spokes in brushed aluminum. Even has an added Olds Rocket emblem as an upgrade over the GT.

I will be at my place in Tsawwassen right after Easter and can bring it with me from Calgary


PM me if interested. I am out on an oil rig for a few more days but can send pics later in the week. Also willing to ship if you want it sooner.

I have one similar to what is in the picture. It's been awhile since I looked at it.

When you get a chance shoot me a pic or two if you don't mind, I'm not in a huge rush to get one but just thought I'd start asking around a bit in advance.

Thanks for the wheel Dave! Can't wait to get it in the car it looks amazing. Had to resist the urge to hold it out infront of me and make engine and shifting noises during my walk home haha! I take it I'm going to need a steering wheel puller to remove the original wheel?

thats a great lookin wheel, im sure you can get your old wheel off without using a puller. just loosen the nut a bunch of turns and grab the wheel and wiggle it back and forth a bunch then up and down. if you dont leave the nut on it can hit you in the face. ive never had a wheel that didnt come right off. dont be afraid you wont bend it!
