I bought the wood wheel thats pretty much the same and I love it. Its got a good look like it fits the period without the cost. It wasnt a lot of cash and it can be put back with ease.

In fact I replaced a stock steering wheel I restored with that one after replacing a Grant Challenger with the stock one a few years ago. I've had it on the car for about 2 yrs now and love it. I would prefer it in 14" dia., but it's still smaller than stock and a more comfortable grip to boot. Granted Grant has some other great wheels as well that are 14", but they're a little to modern or pro-tour looking for me.

Can you put the SS horn cap on these wheels?

Thanks for the pic. Looks nice. I see that the Grant has a 4 1/2 deep offset. Does anyone know what the "comfort" grip steering wheel has. In other words, whats the difference in the two? They look about the same.

I was about to mention depth. Be careful not to get one thats in your face. By the time you get the adapter hub + the wheel, it could be too close for a first gen. My factory walnut wheel is less than 3" deep and had the factory hub.
Here are some better wheels and on second page is their factory repro comfort wheel.

I was just going to mention if you have a stock wheel now keep the hub and cover from that and don't get the dish and hub from Grant. The stock hub and cover is shorter and doesn't have that cheesy bolt on look to it. You will still need the horn contact kit from Grant though.

I wonder if that 5609 billet horn button will work on a stock rose wood horn assy? Looks nice.
