Could your car do with an interior upgrade?

Easy – replace that boring rubbery plastic steering wheel with a purpose-built wood steering wheel.
Imagine driving along an open country road with your hands gripping a beautiful hand rubbed mahogany wood steering wheel with  aluminum spokes polished to a brilliant mirror finish – oh yeah!

The steering wheel is the one device that makes us truly feel connected to the road, visually inviting us to jump in the driver’s seat and take that car for a spin. Though it you can feel every aspect of the road’s surface, and why not do it with something that draws the gaze of your eye, and feels thrilling to touch.

Any true enthusiast would consider customising their prized machine with something more befitting than the original steering wheel, transforming the interior and bringing out the true character of the beast within. Classic car manufacturer’s started installing wood steering wheels on their muscle cars years ago, and you will find them in the likes of Corvette’s, Chevy Camaro’s, and Mustangs.
