Steering wheel replacement 91 Firebird - Need Assistance

I have a 91 Firebird. I really hate the looks of the air bag steering wheels in the 3rd gen's. They just don't flow at all with the interior styling. I'm debating on replacing mine with an earlier model firebird/Trans Am wheel or going with an after market.
First, I would love to seem some pics of anyone's aftermarket wheels...
Second, If I go with an aftermarket, what kind of adapter would I need to install it??

I got a grant 457 club on the bay for $75, about another $25 for a "horn kit"

The kit needed to install it. Called horn or installation kit grant #3196. Only use the hub in it.

Just a FYI, but the trim ring on airbag equipped columns is taller than older columns, so using an old steering wheel requires swapping the trim ring as well. Or sanding it down

Re: Steering wheel replacement 91 Firebird - Need Assistance

So, I'm looking at getting a Grant wheel for my car. What size dish do I need to get? Some wheels say they have a 3" dish and some say 3.5" dish. Does the dish size really matter?
