EMPI Classic Foam Steering Wheel | VW & Buggy Universal 3-Bolt | 14.75" Chrome, 4.25" Deep Dish (79-4113-0)

EMPI 14.75" Classic Foam Steering Wheel | Solid Chrome Spokes, 4.25" Deep Dish (79-4113-0)

The EMPI 14.75" Poly-Foam Steering Wheel is designed for drivers who prefer a full-sized feel with maximum leverage and classic styling. A substantial 4.25-inch extra-deep dish makes it ideal for off-road buggies, sand rails, or street cars where the driver wants the wheel positioned closer for better control and legroom.

The rim is wrapped in a thick, textured black poly-foam that provides a "tacky," non-slip grip and stays comfortable regardless of temperature. Unlike metal or wood wheels that can become scorching hot in open-top vehicles, the foam grip stays manageable and dampens vibration for off-road use. The solid three-spoke design is finished in high-luster chrome.

This is a universal steering wheel using a 3-bolt mounting pattern. A vehicle-specific adapter (boss kit) is required for installation on factory columns.
