Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure anything with that MS logo is a knock-off.

not a bad looking wheel, though.

yeah i was thinking it was probably fake but looks good nonetheless and there are a lot of people around my area that wouldn't know the difference between a rock and a brick.

It's a fake. I have the exact same wheel without the MS logo.

It's a perfectly tolerable wheel, but it's not a Mazdaspeed.

i dont like those wheels personally they are too flexy at the top potions i like a rigid wheel also i think the 320 is too small i like 340-350mm wheels. one day im going to break down and spend alot of money on a wheel.

think of it as a no-name steering wheel with a replica mazdaspeed horn button, then you wont feel soo bad to have a fakie lol

Nothing wrong with a fake horn button, not like theres gonna be any difference i doubt mazdaspeed would even have a assmbly line for those anyways lol
