Mike and John,
I have one. It is very nice looking. Closer examination shows that the
rim is plastic, but you can't see that when it is installed. The spokes
are a dull stainless I think. They could possibly be polished, but then
again I don't know how the original ones looked.
They are also remaking the horn button. I think the wheel was about $120
and the horn button around $30. You must use your old horn button mount,
the metal basket that is held on by the steering wheel nut.
I would recommend it.
