Hey all! Been lurking for years and figured I would finally join in the madness. I've met many of you over the years at different shops, races, river, etc, but never logged on. River Dave, met you at the filibertos in Encinitas one night a few months back, as I recall you wrote a pretty funny thread about it...... Any way, on with the question. My brother and I are putting together a CP 19 gullwing and we're stumped on a steeing wheel. It seems Formuling is out of bus and no one carries a 12" wheel any more. Any suggestions? What are you guys running for wheels or what are they putting on new low profile jets? The 13" wheels just seem to big. Thought about hitting up the local sand rail shops to see if they have anything. Any suggestions??? Thanks, Jason
That looks pretty sweet. Seems like a lot of guys are going to the all billet look. My only drawback to going that route would be that we spend most of our time just north of Needles in the summer, you know, where it's 118 degrees in the shade most of the time. I would have to waste most of my cold beer on the wheel just so I could grab onto it. That looks bad ass but I was hoping to find a leather wrapped one somewhere like the old Formuling.
I've had in some heat (not 118 in the shade) and it didnt get to where you could grab it
Scroll Down to Steering Wheels (http://www.rexmar.com/sections.htm) and have fun shopping. Rex has everything you will need, wheels, adapters, hubs etc........
If you find something you like we can likely wrap it in leather for you. We mfg the Impy wheels but the smallest we make is 13.5" dia.
Grant Formula J is a possibility, not fancy but is 11 1/2". http://shopping.rexmar.com/Merchant2...y_Code=grantfj
Lecarra is also a possibility for 12" if he has any (been hard to get).
I read in this thread (http://www.***boat.com/forums/showth...highlight=morg) that Morg makes steering wheels.
He did make it. We wrapped it for him too.
He did make it. We wrapped it for him too.
Looking forward to getting mine back too! :rollside:

You can get a Grant Classic in an 11 1/2" wheel. Just got one for Christmas, I sure like it better than the big wheel that was in there.
