I'm pretty happy with mine. It's got a little bit of grant gt flavor and it's comfortable.
I've seen some aftermarket wheels installed in some other threads.

i like the feel of the wheel, the hand notches are in the perfect spots. i do wish it was a little grippier. i thought of roughing mine up with sand paper or taking it to an upholstry shop and see if i could get it wrapped with suede.

i had a $300 billet leather wrapped steering wheel on my Rhino and hated the solid feel to it. i also had a small $60 aluminum sprint car steering wheel with rubber grip on my RZR and the rubber wore out in two dune seasons.

with the flex and hand notches i like the T4 steering wheel, especially with power steering.

There are several aftermarket options that are much better than the stock wheel. I never had a problem with my stock wheel before replacing it but I do like the Momo wheel much better. It was on the pricey side but well worth it.

The stock wheel feels good to me too. Much better quality compared to many I've seen on other UTVs...if you want to see a cheap wheel, go look at what Polaris uses on the RZRs.

I like the shape of the stock wheel but it is too slipery for me. I usually ride with fox dirt paw gloves or with a pair of oakley military spec gloves which helps a ton

I don't mind the stock wheel, but I've never driven any other SxS.

I really wish Kawi would have put tilt steering on the Teryx4.

I have tilt steering in my Ranger 800XP and it is one of my favorite features, and makes getting in and out so much easier, and the adjustability for me or my wife is great.

Oh well.

Grant has a adaptor to do any 3 hole wheel on your car i think the part #is 4075? That is what i did and i put a leather and chrome grant on mine and i love it.

Tilt steering would be nice, but I find the steering wheel is in the right place for me.

how did he fold the wheel?

HA reminds me of a fat guy I worked with, he slammed on his brakes so hard to avoid rear ending someone that his stomach bent the steering wheel on a ford ranger in the company fleet
