I installed a (rebuilt) wood look wheel in my 68 over the weekend. My 68 came with what looks like an original black vinyl wheel, from a 69 or later, the ones with the stainless middle portion reveal around the perimeter of the wheel.
Got the redone/repro wheel from Pacific Corvette. It looks like it was rebuilt/redone over an original, larger, deeper dish "frame".
Ques. - This rebuilt one I put in looks pretty good, but it has a "Wood Grain" look to it, not just a "solid brown" color thoughtout. Would this be correct?
Somehow, I do not think so.
Also, did ALL 68's get made with the larger wood look wheel?
I have pictures of what was supposed to be an original 68 BB that was on Ebay (black with tan interior)some months back, and it had a vynly wheel with the stainless perimeter reveal.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Rich
