Here are some pics. of a custom one off ,one spoke shorter than the other two ,15" dia. steering wheel I built for dennisanvil.  since there was mainly a lot of hand work using templates and radius gauges it took awhile.  Hope he gets his steering box fixed soonLOL Painted with Black Acrylic Enamel. Note the" Makers Mark" instead of" SHELLER"I don't think there is enough time or moolah out there to do this againLOL  Enjoy Dennis!!!

Love it! Did you take any pictures of the process?

I have the prototype 10" wheel compliments of Sandusky.  I am saving it for my power steering upgrade for when my Armstrong steering finally quits!

Check out 16:20 mark in this video. I used a tractor steering wheel, and welded it to the center section of the original Willys wheel. It looks factory, and has the factory splines to slide over the column.

Won't be cheap, but here's a 15" store-bought wheel for the "big & tall" crowd.......

When they get them back in stock, this is a MUCH cheaper option. Direct fit, same spline count.

Would you care to bet that KW buys the same wheel and the difference is their mark-up?LOL
And remember --- KW has "free shipping" over $98 !!! LOL
