Boss, GT500, or GT Premium Steering Wheel?

I'm looking at getting an upgraded steering wheel, and I can't decide!

I love the look of the GT Premium grip with the white laces, and I'm not sure if the alacantra on the Boss wheel will feel weird. Don't know much about the GT500 wheel, I think it's leather with the alacantra grips?

Any suggestions? Anybody with the Boss wheel care to weigh in on whether it's an upgrade over the Premium wheel or not?

ZBrew, I love the GT500 steering wheel, and you are correct in describing its material makeup.

However, you could also consider something from this company.......

www.grantproducts.com

Their offerings are pretty awesome as well.----Bill

Ok thanks. I have seen the "Roush" steering wheels that they make for Mustangs, not entirely impressed with them, and they are much more expensive than the GT500 wheels to boot.

They have some great looking wheels there, but I would be worried about losing my airbag. I'd like to stay with something stock, and also something that allows me to control an aftermarket radio from the steering wheel.

Glad to hear that you love the GT500 wheel, does the alacantra feel better than leather, more grippy, etc.?

I love the wheel in my 500. The leather feels nice, and the suede part is grippy feeling. I do wish the rim of the wheel was just a little bit thicker though.

Just ordered the GT500 wheel, thanks for the input everyone! I found it for a pretty awesome deal if anybody else is looking for one, with shipping it was like $193!

Boss or GT500 ...are both awesome choices.
The GT500 one is a great price, and the one I went with.

I went with the gt500 wheel. I think the mix of alcantra and leather makes it match the stock interior better than the all alcantra boss wheel. Plus the two different materials just looks cool. These are the reasons I picked up the gt500 wheel.
