I'm the same way with the 4 spoke, kinda OCD about that. I'm pretty certain I'm going to get the 2nd one from the top. I think that should fit the look I'm going for.

My friend Jeff has that wheel in his 70 Vette. It has a lot less dish than the GM 14" three spoke Vette wheel he had before, so you may not like how far your arms have to stretch to drive.

Right on that.LS6 Tommy said:
I like it better as I'm a bit on the tall side and my Malibu does not have a tilt coloum. It fits me fine.
Cool. I prefer more of a "rally" driving position, so I like the wheel up closer to my chest.

Yes, there is. The "dish" is the difference beween the rim & where it mounts on the hub. On the newer style wheels, the horn pad takes up space between the rim & the hub, so it just looks flat. On our cars, the hub is part of the wheel, so the dish is harder to measure, but it's the same distance from the back of the wheel & the rim on the newer style wheels & the combined distance of the hub & wheel on the old style setup. The stock wheel dish is 3" from the backside of the wheel, same as the overall distance between the back of the hub & the rim of the 14" 80's Vette wheel I have. In other words, My 80's Vette 14" wheel is in the same exact place as my stock wheel.

Agreed. If you ever looked at a TransAm wheel, you will see it is quite flat and used an extension hub to mount it to the column.

C'mon, Doob. There's nothing to be embarassed about. We all learn form eachother here. How many times have I said, "I learned something new. Again..."
