Ok so I have seen two wheels by so called Mazdaspeed that look similar. Is there any way to verify if a product is real or a regular wheel with a fancy badge. They could both be authentic, but I'm just curious if anyone has any pointers. Thanks

 

Probably fake mang...

 

Should've put the word "steering" in the title... :P

They are all fake.
Mazdaspeed never made a steering wheel.
Lots of cheap-azz replican horn buttons slapped on cheap-azz steering wheels...

I got my info from this link. Thats why I thought it might be authentic or not. I didn't know they never actually made a wheel. Thanks for the info

 

Let me reword that...
The steering wheel has been discontinued for years now.
To find one new is next to impossible.
A real one is going to command $300+...just like R.E.Amemiya D-cut steering wheels.
So all that cheap crap on eBay you find for under $100 is fake ****.

Yeah I figuerd as much. I mean the damn shift **** is a hundred bucks so bare minimal I was expecting to pay two to three hundred for a real wheel. I can see why people are so desperate to find authentic mazdaspeed parts. They have not only been out of production for 20+ years (At least for FCs). Trying to find real parts is like looking for a specific grain of sand in a box. You definetly got some bragging rights if you can get the real deal. Thanks for all the help

 

I have one of that wheel in my RX7. I think it looks great.

 

You need a radio to fill that hole lol, nice interior though i couldnt keep my car that clean to save my life

 

Mazdaspeed hasn't made the wheel for the FC in years. They where all the same style, and that wasnt it. Thats a cheap wheel with a fake MS horn button.

This is what the MS wheel looks like. This one has the center cover still. Although it looks terrible in brown.

I have a brand new one, but not installed yet.

 

That Mazdaspeed one at ebay one is ugly as hell. I prefer my cheap one that looks great. Ugly vs. cheap, I prefer cheap.

 

wat else u need beside the steering wheel?

 

Those are the "JDM" wheels sold on Ebay for about thirty bucks shipped, with a $9 horn button that says Mazdaspeed. I know, cause I just bought both seperately. Looks exactly like the top wheel pictured. If you are gonna pay more than that, you're getting ripped. My interior looks almost exactly like yours, Nitro, but in that lovely 88 gray. I have a stereo, though

 

those ebay wheels are all fake or replicas...i have an authentic one and the matching shift ****

 

VERY NICE. looks sexy. when u gonna put it on?

 

i will give ya $20 for the top one...........

Funny the real ones like a cheap repo!!

 

nice!!!! Mine was gray too, but I changed all the carpet, seats and the door panels inserts to black color. I think with the stereo your interiors would look better than mine.
