No... they sell that American brand at Advance that aren't compatible with standard adapters and look ghey because they only have five screws.

(Grant, that is)

The price is really decent. I can pick one up locally for about $90.

True, but for about 1/3rd of the cost of a Momo steering wheel, the Tenzo Turismo might become acceptable.

The Tenzo wheels feel artificial in my experience. Light, even kinda flimsy, might be fine for street use, but it doesn't inspire confidence under pressure.

On that note, I have the stock wheel in my coupe and the Momo Trek wheel in my TII Vert.

Yeah I'd have to say my wheel feels very much like a stock wheel, just different.

Of course I am speaking of the build quality, not the ergonomics as that is purely a personal preference.
