Woo new wheel

My NRG quick release finally came, so I got a chance to throw my Nardi Deep Corn on

Sure sits a hell of a lot closer :o



And of course, had to do a bit of ghetto hacking to get the shroud around the short hub


Stock wheel


Nardi


Sexy!

i like the deep corn too, but since i have long arms, i prefer the Personal, leather neo grinta black/red stitch.

or the momo monte carlo has a classic 80's look and feel to it.

this thread makes me want a steering wheel...

im sorry man but i am not giving props to that hack job. the wheel and hub look great but if you got the money for that hub then you should have been able to buy a "dremel" type tool. you can get one from Harbor freight for under $20. but nice wheel and hub.

Those NRG short hubs are junk, did yours break the turn signal canceler going on as well?

Looks great. Not sure why everyone is freaking out about the surround since most of us are probably riding with them either missing or cracked/broken lol..

thats the reason i am gonna stick with my mazdaspeed wheel instead of the nardi...

i dont trust those NRG quick releases (works bell FTW), and i dont want to hack my steering column cover up.

and the deep dish on the nardi wheel means you need slim hubs/quick releases.

Can you still reach the turn signal with your hand on the wheel? How do you like having the wheel that close to you?
