13-Inch Diameter Deep Dish Steering Wheel

With its compact 13-inch diameter, this wheel provides a significantly more responsive and connected feel than the often oversized factory wheels found in vintage Beetles and Ghias. Its resilient surface also makes it suitable for open-top buggies and Baja projects exposed to the elements. The Rally GT series brings a classic motorsport aesthetic to your VW's interior. The deep 3-inch dish is a key feature, moving the steering wheel closer to the driver. This is particularly beneficial for taller drivers who experience leg cramping or for those using aftermarket racing seats positioned further back. The wheel utilizes the standard Grant 5-bolt mounting pattern, which, when paired with a vehicle-specific adapter, provides a robust interface with the steering column. Whether for a period-correct street build or a hardcore off-road machine, this steering wheel offers a professional look and tactile feedback. This steering wheel is a universal performance component and requires a vehicle-specific Grant 5-bolt adapter hub for installation. It is commonly installed on air-cooled Volkswagen models including the Beetle (1950-1979), Karmann Ghia (1956-1974), Bus Type 2 (1950-1979), Type 3 (1961-1973), and Thing (1973-1975). It is also ideal for custom applications like Dune Buggies, Sand Rails, Baja Bugs, and Kit Cars that use VW steering columns. Specifications include a 13-inch diameter for quick response, a 3-inch dish for driver positioning, and a standard 5-bolt mounting pattern. The grip is made of extra-thick, high-density textured black foam, and the spokes are constructed from heavy-duty steel with a corrosion-resistant black finish. The wheel weighs approximately 4.7 lbs. Please note that a Grant 5-bolt installation kit (adapter hub) specific to your vehicle's year and model must be purchased separately.
