The steering wheel of a vehicle is part of a unique group of parts in that it often goes unnoticed and/or unappreciated unless it is in disrepair, at which point it becomes a focal point of poor condition, and impacts the overall look of the vehicle’s interior. It can even reek havoc on the driving experience if the material and/or structure is damaged. Specifically, a damaged wheel can really ruin any “road feel” and be very distracting to your driving enjoyment.
Luckily, Mid America Motorworks (MAM) has an amazing collection of reproduction steering wheels, as well as the ability to produce concours-quality refurbished steering wheels for your Corvette. In order to help you make your steering wheel purchase, MAM has created a helpful guide so that all of us may end up with our desired wheel the first time.
MAM states that the guide identifies the design and features of Corvette steering wheels by year group. Depending on your Corvette generation and style preference, you have several options for bringing your steering wheel back to life. From purchasing a reproduction steering wheel, to getting your steering wheel refurbished and even upgrading to a custom steering wheel, the right steering wheel is out there for every generation.
For the refurbished variety, you simply remove your factory steering wheel, ship it to MAM, and an identical refurbished wheel will be sent back to you. Your wheel will then be refurbished for the next Corvette lover in need, just as the customer did before you. Not only is this a resourceful way to get a steering wheel back on your car and get your car back on the road, it utilizes an aspect of the Vette culture that MAM has longed helped to foster; a fun, helpful, Corvette community.
