Started this discussion just to see some of the cool wheels you guys are using. The s10 wheel is kinda boring and would like to swap it out for something else. Would like to see some wheels from different cars but aftermarket setups would be cool too. Drop some pics off too 😎👍

Aftermarkets don't have airbags and you insurance company might use that as an excuse to not pay a claim.
What year? 99 I'd guess?
Do a search on here. There have been posts about Escalade or similar wheels (with clock spring) on the later 2nd gens.

Escalade Steering wheel W/ controls

I am gonna be starting this swap within the next few weeks so I figure I would post progress as I go to help others out with future projects. So far, this is what I got: My wheel: I will upload pics of clock spring if needed. just has to be off of a truck with steering wheel controls. PAC...

If you have the plastic wheel a simple uprgrade to a leather wrapped GM wheel is an improvement. The same leather wheel is used on most nicer GM trucks.

I dont really worry about the airbag. My truck isnt daily driven and I cant get insurance anyway lol. I have a wheel from a 5th gen camaro ss. What could I do to bolt that one on?

Do you have the clock spring with it?

Yes

I guess you'll just have to pop your old wheel off and see if it'll fit.

It won’t. The newer GM vehicles have a slightly different spline set up...they actually pull right off with the center but removed,unlike our trucks where ya need a puller.

I second a leather wrapped wheel. I got mine from an s10 jimmy or bravadA and it feel a lot better and looks good (compared to the stock plastic wheel)

09 Bravada if I remember right. Not perfect but for $15 I like it. Leather with radio controls. Doesn't look that worn in person.

To me the truck wheels feel just like that... truck wheels. I put a Pontiac Trans Sport wheel on my 2001 because it was free, feels 100% better.

Could be. I've been to the u-pull-it too many times to remember.

When I replaced the wheel on my ZR2 with a dry leather one from a Blazer that had been in the yard a couple years I drowned it with Mequires Gold Class Rich Leather conditioner. Used an old toothbrush to make sure it got into all the nooks and crannies. It now looks like new and is not slippery.
