I have a Momo Racing line, I like it. You need the right hub, it costs about $60-$65, I got mine from the link above also.

After that you can buy any type of Momo steering wheel and it should fit. One of the things you have to think about is size. I had a tach mounted and too big of one and I would be smashing my knuckles when turning. If you get a smaller one it might cut off your view to the gauges, depending on how tall you are.

^Whats the point??^

Anyway, i dont know much about where to get steering wheels, but if youre a big guy(like me) you are gonna love a smaller steering wheel. I had to put my stock one back on for a day one time and it was torture.

I got lucky and found a steering wheel and adapter for $10 at the yard

Sigh. Do they still teach grammar in grammar school?

Anyway, check out the later versions of RX-7s too. I prefer the leather 3-spoke 89-91 wheels, nice and thick wheel and the splines fit perfect. You need to move your signal cluster back a bit to engage the tucn signal cam pins, and modify your steering wheel column housing a little, but the effect is worth it.
