Tuff wheels.

Ok, I have researched tuff wheels, only to find out I need an adapter. The only one i could find is flaming River. Does any one know of any other options?

I too would love to put a Tuff wheel on my car and was thinking of buying a Grant

But you still need an adaptor that moves the wheel towards you on the column.

Grant Wheels are significantly different than factory tuff wheels. Only look similar at a glance.

Although far from perfect, Dale's Cuda Shop has a much better, yet economical reproduction.

These days the correct factory adapter will set you back $100 in used condition.

If you can find one.

Have any of you guys seen or tried the flaming river adapter? It's billet, though. I'm not really into the billet thing. But, there does not seem to be many options.

I may found a correct adapter, and it cost me 100 dollars. I'll report back later.

I've got a steering column, set up for power steering, although, since I added new wheels, the manual steering is not bad at all. I found an original tuff wheel, and a steering collar. I will be installing these next week.
