Mine is a MOMO Wheel, but I think it looks shitty regardless. I was looking at Nardi Wheels earlier today, but don't have the money because I'm rebuilding my FC...

I like the momo, I do not like hubs though, when you are used to the car with the stock wheel for so long the hubs take some getting used to. My convertible momo is a mazda oem so it has no hub, but after a few years now I want something a little bit thicker, but it feels really nice
When I owned my coupe at the same time the difference from one with the hub to without was noticeable for me

the NRG ones are pretty solid compared to cheapy ebay or autozone wheels... they dont bend or flex when you push or pull on it... and im sure much safer too


heres a picture of mine: black nrg wheel with red stitching and mazdaspeed horn button



anyone ever seen this type of horn button before?!?!?! fake or real?!!

The wheel itself is a direct bolt in piece but you won't have any horn.
FDs use a clockspring set up to carry signals from the wheel to the column, FCs use a simple slip ring.

The slip ring is easily adaptable to the FD hub and the horn can be made functional.
BTW, the 929 wheel from certain years is very similar (and possibly better looking) to the FD wheel.

Momo Race

Love my benetton formula 1 horn button though, pretty rare.

I want a Nardi wheel.

Im curious what a classic wood steering wheel would look like in a fc.

Ignore my super fly interior. It's a deep dish OMP I got it second hand, so I'm not sure what model.

I put my extra 79 wheel in my 90. Looks great and is OEM so it feels right. Slightly smaller and thinner than the s5 wheel so it feels a lot sportier. No good pictures of it installed, but this is my 79...

Momo Corse, it is a little thicker than normal momo's but it still has a very nice feel.
