Here is the lumina wheel, looks like it came out of a volkswagon or something.

The one in the post above is nearly identical to the one I have in my truck.  I like both the ones from the Cavalier and the Lumina in this post too..

$40 on Ebay was a steal for me!   ;D

How's that holding up for you ???  I too liked the design of them, and had a Factory installed one on my Old '89 K2500...  After a couple weeks of 75-95 dgree days, the thing just started to feel really Gummy & Quite Sticky :-X  No matter how much I cleaned it, it would be back to feeling that way again, within a day or so (Wasn't anything I had on my hands, as I'm fairly a Clean Freak when it comes to them) :P

Hmm.. Mine seems just fine so far after I've had it through the first summer now. But then again, Wisconsin summers never really get scorching hot! 

Hmm..  Now I am a bit worried for when I move back to Georgia..  :-[

I've installed the same wheel as you, CruzinHigh, and also have had no trouble with it in hot weather. It's 15" dia.compared to the 16" dia. of the oe wheel. It's easy to get off a spline or 2 during alignment/install so double check before you tighten it up, Skunkmash.

Mine was comfy on long drives when I first got, and I wanted to keep it, but would have wound up wrapping had I kept it.....  Aside from having to wipe it down thoroughly after a hot days use, I only changed it cause I was able to get a Killer deal on my Favorite Factory Wrapped 3-spoke(Leather-Wrapped Buick Sport Wheel that I got for $12 :o Girl that used to work at the Local U-pull thought I was cute, and used to slide me deals from time to time  ;D 8)).....

Yeah Fiesty Little Red Head that would go Black from time to time ;D  Of course she left, and I got a Wifey now, but those were the days of Cheap Parts(I was in my Mid-20's and she was in her late teens(Really nothing would happen, cause I had a Niece same age), Her Father and Brothers also worked there, so nothing more than smiles & winks happened on my part)  :-X......
