Hi guys
Looking for info on the coloured steering wheels fitted to HZ, UC & commodore

Are these the same thru the models, or is there some variants in design? I know the centre lion badge changed at some stage.

How many colour choices were available?

Any knowledge would be great, or suggestions where to look

Thank you

I think only UC and WB were coloured. There were from memory blue, red, tan and maybe green.

Ah yes, forgot about SL/E. I remember looking this up years ago and most of the colours were UC and WB. Old memory but maybe Dark Carmine and Buckskin on SL/E.

I found the info I posted on this years ago, see below:

WB - sports wheels in these are Dark Blue or Dark Buckskin.

HZ - these are black, dark buckskin or dark carmine.

UC - these come in black, dark grey, dark blue, dark green, tan, dark buckskin and dark carmine.

They were also available in Oyster in WB, no doubt to match the trim colour update in 84ish.

I think Oyster is just the trim material change to match VK.

Yes I know. What I meant was it was a VK trim change and WB followed. It’s the dirty beige colour isn’t it? Replaced buckskin?
