Vehicle Improvement Products (VIP) manufactures the finest heavy truck steering wheels in the world. VIP entered the steering wheel market 30 years ago with the intention of making a deluxe, leather-covered wheel as a replacement to the hard plastic wheels that were standard in the industry.

It did not happen overnight, but within a decade, VIP became the NEW industry standard, and began to capture OEM accounts one by one. Driver preferences for a better and more ergonomic product were a big factor in market growth. VIP continues to add new products and are very focused with supplying highly featured wheels such as the Kenworth Smartwheel, with backlit wheel-mounted controls for engine brake, cruise, marker interrupt, and flash to pass. Future offerings will afford far greater convenience at the touch of your fingertips-- radio controls, navigation system interface, hands-free cell phone control-- just use your imagination and you'll probably see it on an upcoming VIP product.

The relatively small number of wheels sold to heavy truck in comparison to passenger car volumes means that VIP is a niche supplier. VIP’s entire focus is on satisfying current and future needs of the heavy truck customer. Structural integrity of our product is second to none. With a lack of uniform industry engineering specifications, VIP had created its own list of testing requirements that every new wheel design must survive. Many OEM suppliers rely upon VIP to supply these standards for their own development programs. Driver-entry testing, rim-roll testing, and a whole host of wear-related tests are examples of why our wheels perform in the severe environment of heavy truck use.

VIP purchases the best available materials, manufacture to exacting standards, and listen to their customer. VIP also guarantees their product to meet these requirements with a robust warranty.
