Preferred Steering Wheel For Your FC ???

I know not everyone enjoys the big OEM steering Mazda issued the RX7. I started a little hunt for some aftermarket steering wheel, but thought if I could get some personal thoughts from my fellow members.

I think I set my mind with MOMO's Champion Steering Wheel, but always open to different options.

Stock 79 rx7 wheel in my 90. Feels great and is so much thinner and speaker than the bulky stock s5 wheel.

I found a steering wheel and hub in pink n pull and its not bad small but not bad. It sits a little close to the dash tho but im puting my old school gt grant style wheel on. Its the clasic three spoke style with real wood on the wheel it looks sick and its the perfect offset from the dash. But if you cant find a hub for a fc for cheap use a mazda percidea. Thats what im using and its fine. Go old school its the only way to be more of your own. Id like to see the 79 rx wheel that sounds sick.

Stock wood RX5 wheel on my S4 Turbo Vert with matching wood handbrake handle.

Mazdaspeed by Nardi Air bag wheel on my S5 TurboVert. Identical to a FD Spirit R wheel.

Oem wheel on s4 t2 works and feels just fine. No need for me to change.

Strangely.. I really love the S4 factory wheel, though it's a little ugly, it's got the best shaping I've seen and used...

Thumb bumps, no spoke at the bottom [so you can rest your hand there!], no spokes at 9 & 3-o'clock [so you can wrap your hands around!]... Pure function over form B)

Nope. But doesn't mean you have to figure out how to hook it all up if you're putting it in a Non-airbag car.

I really like the Nardi Deep Corn. I've got one in a 240 and one in the FC. It's got to be my favorite wheel hands down.

I quite like my grip royal wheel. Its the Macbeth model, grey leather wrapped. Cheaper alternative thats still constructed well. Also offer custom painted wheels.
