Just wondering, are the leather spirit RT Steering wheels in any other cars? Hopefully I will soon be trading one of my cars for a spirit, and I know the leather is chewed up pretty bad.

Just wondering.

To me they look exactly the same as the ones in the shadows.

Cool, I am thinking they are in Daytonas too. I remember my 1990 daytona looked like the 91 Spirit.... but in black.

The Daytona/Lebaron wheels have four spokes and a different style airbag.

The Sprit style wheel is in the Shadows and a lot of the C-body cars also (Dynasty, New Yorker etc..). The leather wheels don't age very well so finding a nice one is a challenge. They also tend to turn a different shade of gray over the years compared to the rest of the interior. The Vinyl wheels hold up a lot better and are easy to find if your looking for an easy replacement.

Yes but those also have 'Jeep' molded into the airbag cover...

ive got a perfect beige one from my dynasty if im thinking of the right wheel.. upgraded to the black perforated 4-spoke with cruise from a daytona iroc or r/t or something.

Some Lebarons have the two spoke wheel, the sporty ones seem to always have the four spoke though. This is on the 90 up cars.

So you used a Daytona one in a C-body, which would mean Heath could use a Daytona one in his seeing that swap worked??

I've seen a black leather four spoke Daytona wheel installed in a Shadow also.

Don't forget... the 91-95 minivans sometimes had leather wheels too.
