Abstract
A novel method for making a steering wheel is provided. The steering wheel so produced is also provided. The steering wheel preferably comprises a hooped channel (felly) which is dimpled and pierced. A central hub assembly is also provided, the hub having also been pierced and the holes therein countersunk. The hub and channel are interconnected through the use of a plurality of spokes, preferably aesthetically arranged to generally correspond to the arrangement of spokes of a vehicle wheel with which the steering wheel may be used. Once appropriately interconnected, a grip is applied to the outer portion of the channel, and the steering wheel is then ready for use.
