been wanting one since i saw the one on my buddy kens car. saw nice with one he bought from mancini yesterday. made sure it was the diameter i wanted and went and bought the last one they had. $103. thought that was a decent price.

was worried about how it would fit or even if it would fit using the rim blow adapter i have and if the horn **** would all work without a kit. well after looking at kens i knew the horn would work and when we got home yesterday i checked the bolt pattern and yup it fit.

so i painted the adapter and put the wheel on today. love the way it looks. can't wait to take the car for a beating and see how it feels now...

Oh yea, real nice. I gotta do something with my Dusters wheel, like the first picture. Drives me nuts looking at that thing.

Thinking about the Grant Challenger in Satin.
 

Joe, What was the diameter of the wheel? Is it the Grant remake, and if so, what was the model #. Did the adapter, and center cap come with it for that price? I've been wanting to change out my 4 spoke Grant. Thanks, Tim.
 
yes its the new grant. its 15" diameter and a 2 1/4 dish (from the box tag). it is exactly the same diameter as the stock wheel wich is why i bought it.. the number on the box says "#846 classic series".

center cap comes with it but thats it. the adaper i had from a rim blow car and it fits perfect. the thing they wanted to sell me for $42 was ugly as hell and too small of a diameter.
 
Looks much better to me.
I never liked the padded cone horn buttons in anything.
 
Tim, try to get a Rim blow/ Tuff wheel color for your column instead of the grant adapter. It looks a ton nicer.
 
Looks real nice. I got the wood wheel from Grant. I llike it a lot. The only thing is the horn button shot off at me when I was going to the spring fling this year. Scared me pretty good. but I think I got it fixed.
