GT Performance Steering Wheels: Where Classic Style Meets Modern Craftsmanship
When it comes to aftermarket steering wheels for muscle cars, classic trucks, and vintage pony cars, few names carry as much focused expertise as GT Performance. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Burbank, California, the brand was built from the ground up by a team whose collective résumé spans more than four decades in steering wheel design and manufacturing. That depth of experience shows in every product they produce.
GT Performance's mission is singular and clear: deliver premium-quality steering wheels that honor the heritage of performance driving while meeting the expectations of today's builders and restorers. The result is a lineup that speaks directly to enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on either form or function at the helm of their classic ride.
The GT3 and GT9 Series
At the heart of the GT Performance steering wheel catalog are two distinct product series — the GT3 and the GT9. The GT3 series features a 3-bolt mounting pattern, while the GT9 series uses a 9-bolt mounting pattern, giving builders the flexibility to match their specific column and hub setup. Each series is designed to work seamlessly with GT Performance's own installation hubs and horn buttons for a complete, integrated upgrade.
Within those series, buyers will find an impressive range of styles and materials. The GT3 Classic offers a timeless 3-spoke design available in chrome or black powder-coated spokes with a comfortable foam grip — a natural fit for muscle cars and vintage trucks. The GT3 Retro line is patterned after the original Mustang GT steering wheel and is available in genuine wood or leather grips, bringing authentic period-correct aesthetics backed by book-matched wood construction. For a more dramatic look, the GT3 Gasser Banjo Style features polished billet aluminum spokes with a flat-dish leather grip that channels the spirit of classic drag racing builds. The premium GT9 series steps things up further with a 15.5-inch mahogany wood and aluminum grip option finished with polished aluminum spokes.
Why GT Performance Stands Out
GT Performance isn't just another steering wheel label — it's a brand with serious industry credentials. The company is a regular exhibitor at the SEMA Show and is a member of SEMA's Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council (MPMC), reflecting a genuine commitment to the performance parts industry. GT's designs have also drawn inspiration from celebrated industry figures, further underlining the brand's ties to authentic hot rod and racing culture.
Grip options across the lineup include genuine wood, black leather with inside stitch, and black foam, while spoke finishes range from chrome steel and brushed stainless to black powder coat and polished billet aluminum. Whether you're restoring a 1965 Ford Mustang, building a first-gen Camaro, refreshing a classic Chevelle, or upgrading a vintage C10 truck, GT Performance offers a wheel that fits the era and the build.
Installation is designed to be straightforward. Each wheel pairs with a corresponding GT3 or GT9 hub adapter and horn button, so everything mounts cleanly without cutting or fabrication. The result is a factory-quality feel with a decidedly custom look.
