Let me be the first to strongly warn you NOT to run a polished metal or chromed steering wheel rim in an open car.

I built a dune buggy for someone a long time ago and they just HAD to have a chromed steering wheel "like the Hot Rod guys have!"). It looked really good in there (the buggy was a Deserter and all black so the chromed stuff popped).

The BIG problem was when it was in the sun it got so damn hot you couldn't touch it. He found this the first time they stopped somewhere for ice cream and it was too hot to drive it home. He ended up putting a shirt over it for ten minutes and then driving with the shirt on the wheel. Definitely NOT cool. shake
