I have a 13.75 Grant wheel in my V8. I love it. Physically speaking, there
has to be increased steering effort since it is a smaller then stock wheel,
but I think it is more then offset by the increased arm comfort of turning a
smaller wheel. I think you can use any grant wheel and buy the MG adapter
for your application for an additional $30 or so. They list the adapter in
their catalog books in autoparts stores. I have a GT Rally which is a three
spoke black on black with a thicker rim then my stock wheel. I find it is a
lot grippier and more comfortable to hold onto. Hope this helps.
