As long as you use just the hub and wheel, your distance from the turn signal switch will be the same as the factory. When I put my removable hub adaptor in, it moved it back about an 3/4 of an inch which took a few days to adjust to.
. I ended up buying this one instead ( same exact wheel, just a different color and insert change):

It's all black which will help avoid glare, and the red stitching will tie in nicely with the color of the car. I also grabbed an adaptor from another shop, so I'm good to go.

I gotta stop reading threads like this, I always end up poorer in the end.

it looks preaty nice, but do give a review of it here so everyone knows how good they are. WHat kind of materials is it made from. does if feel cheap?? sturdy, does it have a plasticky feel like the stock one..


I have a used sparco or (something namebrand) steering wheel, its quite nice for used, The thick leather covered steering wheel feels nice when driving, althow mine feels quite small, dont remember what diameter it is. thow..

Momo and Sparco are top quality. I've run Momo wheels in my 7's and Audi and you really can't go wrong.

You should've been more clear on what subject you were discussing...

The thread went : RX8, momo momo momo momo momo then you suddenly made this comment about the RX8 wheel :P


Yeah..you'd have the cruise control (which I'm sure you couldn't wire in properly..the buttons have multiple controls for each, different from an FC), stereo up and down (would be cool if you could wire it in..)....


It'd be a waste, IMO...I love the RX8 wheel on my RX8, but I couldn't see it looking right on an FC. Momo all the way.
