I just received mine, purchased off ebay and came with adapter and chrome column.
When you say "cheapo", I guess it depends on what you're looking to spend, on what kind of steering wheel.
Buying this package was less expensive than purchasing separately and I liked that the column and adapter were MadJax brand. For me personally, I'm painting the body a candy red so I wanted a red steering wheel but there were less expensive ones available.
Got it installed last night (along with the dash and switches) and it looks great!
Very pleased and it was $142.00 total (steering wheel, adapter and column):
