Finally got fed up with the sticky OEM wheel. After much research I found what I was looking for. A half wrap from Forever Sharp. I love it. Thanks to @Old77 for turning me on to this company!
As for the details, it's 14 inch versus the 16 inch OEM. I like it better and gains an inch of lap clearance. Be sure to use the short one piece adapter if you want it to be the same distance from the dash. You will lose 3/4 inch if you order the standard 2 piece adapter. For those of us in the Big Belly Club, that extra space makes a difference.

I absolutely love the way they look and feel with the half wrap. I've never spent any real time driving one but have moved my buddy's '86 around the lot and it just feels a tad odd being so small. That's why I went with the traditional Comfort Grip wheel. If they'd make a 15", I would've gotten a FS in a heartbeat

I think it looks better being smaller. I like the extra leg room. Today I drove it to work and like you said the smaller diameter feels slightly different but it only took about 30 minutes to readjust my brain. Actually, it makes the steering feel more responsive (quicker) which makes perfect sense since I have effectively increased the "gear ratio" with the smaller diameter. Whoever said the wheel got hot ( @Bennyt ) in the heat and it hurt their hands due to the rivets must have been licking toads. No such issue.

Looks real nice! Is the grip a form of rubber or is it hard plastic?

I could do this one, but with my luck the metal wouldn't be that cool color. It would just be plain old silvery aluminum.


Also the big belly club is a killer. You'll live longer (a lot longer) if you join the flat belly club!
