Hey Guys,
I bought a repro Wheel for my Chevelle. I noticed that its made of a hard plastic and feels slippery compared to an original which is made of a hard rubber. I'm going to return this wheel.
I know this question has been asked by someone else before, but no one replied.
Does anyone know if there is more than one manufacturer for this wheel that makes it hard rubber instead of plastic?

If not, then I'm looking for an original comfort grip wheel in excellent condition for my car. Does anyone know where I might find one, other than E-bay?

Thanks,
Brian

I believe mine is a repro by OER and it is hard rubber, definitely not just plastic.
Hey are you Ray C.'s friend from the WMCC? I met you at VetteFest when you had the LS6.
Hope you're doing well.

Hey Man!
I remember you. Yes I am a friend of Ray's ;)
I remember getting pictures of your Chevelle when you were first looking at it. Lol
Would you happen to have any contact info in regards to the steering wheel?
