On the "old" site under the archives I remember seeing a bunch of posts on steering wheel replacements for a '56 Fairlane but those are all gone.

I pulled my wheel off to "repair" it with an Eastwood kit, but I think it's in too poor of a shape for safety reasons - major cracks at all of the spokes where they connect to the horn hub.

Most "used" wheels seem to be in really bad shape too.

I want to stay with a classic look - chrome trim at least - but don't want to spend $300+ for a billet or "banjo" wheel.

Any ideas ? Replacements, places to look, good online vendors, etc. ?
