steering wheel options for GN

[paradigm]

The 87 GN I bought did not come with the factory steering wheel.
I am thinking of either going back with a factory wheel, however the used ones in bad shape are asking good money, and then I will need to get it refinished. Where are you guys going to get your factory wheels refinished. I am assuming DIY refinishing of a wheel isn't really a feasible thing to do.

I am also thinking about a Grant 415 challenger wheel; thoughts on going aftermarket?

G body parts has the original wheel in new leather in their site.

Mario Rocha does them as well. You can find him on FB as well.

I just bought one from Mario 2 months ago.
It wasn't cheap (none of them are cheap).
The wheel is awesome. Looks great and he send it quickly and packed it well.
I'm very happy with it.

I had a junkyard wheel refinished in alcantara by Dallas Custom Steering Wheel: Dallas Custom Steering Wheel

They matched the OE color. It was not cheap. But hand sewn leatherwork never is.

The Gbodyparts for $300 new seems like a decent deal compared to the used wheels for sale. I wonder how the quality compares
