Post aftermarket steering wheel pics here...

...preferably with functional cruise included!

I think I've reach just about every archived thread on this... I'd really like a steering wheel about the same size as the Lotus Elise (can't find out what size that is), and not the Mazdaspeed wheel or Nardi wheel which is not that much smaller. Thanks!

I think you'd be making a mistake if you chose any wheel smaller than 340mm.

I think that Momo looks great (although I would have gone with silver!) Were you able to retain the functionality of the turn signals without modifications? If so, where did you order from?

Great link, thanks.

The only think about those 350mm wheels is that they are not a whole lot smaller than stock. I appreciate that going to, say, 320mm may obstruct the gauges, but what about going a LOT smaller - 240mm for example - and then you can see the gauges above the wheel?

The Elise I drove had the perfect sized wheel. That's what I want. Not sure exactly what size that is.

I went of the old standard Momo Millenium, it gave me a extra inch for leg room. The road feel is outstanding, much better feedback then the stock wheel.

Mazdabation, I love the red stitching on the shift boot too. Where did you get it?

Thanx for the compliments.... the boots came from one of the forum vendors redline, i have had them a few years now. dont buy from him right away though as hes always having special rebates every so often.

Heres another pic of the steering wheel and boots.........

I just ordered a black momo pilotta 2 wheel (~130 shipped on ebay, 350 mm)


and a plug and play hub adapter for a 90-97 miata, which is supposed to work on an fd http://www.finishlineperformance.com...n&key=MIAI1028

Should be a nice combo with easy install for ~$250.
