Steering wheel suggestions...

[paz]

Hi All,

The leather on my standard steering wheel has just split :roll:

On my previous R I had a momo steering wheel, which I used to really like, but can't seem to track it down online - mostly because they all tend to look similar and a bit shit in the pictures.

So, what steering wheels would you all recommend? I'd be more interested in leather rather than suede (although would consider both), and don't want one of those chavvy wierd shaped ones! :lol:

Cheers

Paz

Personally, i like the Momo Nero. --> http://www.momoshop.co.uk/p1833045.htm

But i've got used to my tiny wheel, its only 280mm, and feels like a go-kart!! :lol:

Cheers all

Pimp - thats the one I was leaning towards, would I need anything else to fit it beyond the stuff in that advert?

Jack - yeah I've seen and quite like that one too cheers, but prefer the one above.

Bobby - bit bright and lairy for me sorry, plus doesn't really go with the rest of the car.

im not sure if you need anything else or not. mine was already fitted! are you buying brand new? if so you should get everything needed if its gtir specific. maybe someone else will know if you need anything else

Here's my wheel i love it feels awesome while i sit in it and do a keiron :lol: :der:

Sorry for the minor hijack Paz, but does anybody else use a small diameter wheel?

 

[paz]

No worries bud. I was reading on another forum (when I was searching for a wheel) and it seems a lot of the old skool type VAG boys use the 280 mil i.e. Golf Mk1's, Corrados etc.

yea them chavy type muticloured plastic items are horrific them suede dished type look and feel really good!

griff, what diameter is your wheel?
does it block the view of the clocks at all, as i know the smaller wheel does.

 

[MORF114]

I think its a 350mm from rally nuts perfect view of the clocks my seats have been lowered so it may block if running std seat height.

my seats are on the floor so not much chance of that! cheers
