After Market Steering Wheels

[mdbrandy]

The steering wheel in my '78 280Z is slightly sun damaged on the top, with a small split, and I'm thinking about putting an aftermarket wheel on the car. I'm not too concerned with originality in the 280 (I have the 240Z for that!). It would be nice to keep a Z logo of some sort, though. MSA has some wheels that have Z logos, as well as a variety of other wheels. So, my question is, for those of you into aftermarket steering wheels, what would you recommend? The car's a daily driver, so it has to be something "ergonomic" that doesn't exacerbate the already heavy steering.

Thanks for any opinions.

Well, I found a nice post buried 5 pages deep in a search:

It has a lot of interesting opinions already there. If anyone has anything to add, let me know!

In the past.. 2 of my z cars came with Grant steering wheels. I don't know if that was due to the time frame (late 80's early 90's), and they were the only ones really selling a wheel with the correct bolt pattern, or if that was due to preference. I personally liked one of them, and the other was given away after a replacement was found at the scrap yard. The one I disliked, had a very thick diameter with cheap rubber coating, and overall too small size. The one I liked, was just a little smaller that stock and was wood
