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?

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

Re: Tuff wheels.
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.

Re: Tuff wheels.
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.

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

Re: Tuff wheels.
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.
