Steering Wheels

I was just wondering what steering wheels people are using on their FCs. I want to get one with a quick release.

Damn that's a sexy *** steering wheel! Too bad it out of my budget for a steering wheels. I'm using a steering wheel off ebay for like $50 and bought a NRG Innovation quick release hub for $80 also.

Grant GT (mahogany)...

Very comfortable and they wear great. I had one in my 240Z for over five years and the finish was still amost perfect.

Not trying to thread-jack or anything but since rx7man is on the topic of steering wheels I was wondering if anyone has had any trouble with the Grant steering wheel adapter, cause mine cracked the turn signal cancel switch. So just to make my thread somewhat contribute to the original thread I figure I will not reccomend that adapter and at the same time maybe somebody can make me feel stupid and tell me what I did wrong during my installation of this adapter.

I use the Momo Monte Carlo in 350mm. I have tried many other steering wheels, but this one is by far my favorite. Nice and simple with a very comfortable feel. Do not buy the 320mm because it will block your view of the top half of the tach. These can be found for around $140-$160.

I got this wheel when I bought my seats and I like it alot.. some think its cheesy but in person I have yet to see anyone that did not like it..





the only thing I dont like is it is smaller so it does hurt the power feel abit (no p/s) but with the new seats I needed a smaller wheel anyways so I could fit in the car and drive it

i think ebay sells cheap s/wheels with bride horn buttons

heres a front shot of the Corsa Pilota 2, I love the way the horn button matches the guages and boost

I've got a momo champion and love it. Although I'm not sure what the suede on the top is for. I guess it's just for looks.

(since that pic was taken, I've installed a cd player and a momo shift ****.)

btw, ltbmotorsport.com is a good place to buy momo, sparco, and isotta steering wheels, among other things.

I don't know why they're so expensive, and why everyone wants them. I have one on my FC because I got it from a friend for cheap. but honestly, the quality is crap. I've never been so un-impressed from an expensive part. the quality seemed about on-par with grant wheels. the leather on the outside doesn't even look like real leather, and it seems like its going to fall off in not too much time... we'll see. the suede sparco I had before was much nicer, so was my friend's suede OMP wheel.

Nardi steering wheel with Lonza horn button.

SRR spacer and NRG Slim steering wheel release.








I don't have any pics from farther away yet. I had to show someone else how the spacer fit with the steering wheel.
