Mazdaspeed Steering Wheel on eBay... anyone try it?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-97...QQcmdZViewItem

I assume it's a fake. Comes with wheel & hub adapter. I wasn't looking for anything 'high performance'... I just need a smaller wheel to free up some legroom.

Has anybody bought a wheel from this guy? If so... was it decent or just another POS? Thanks

Haha... see... I already stated it was a fake... curious if anybody had bought one. Some of the fakes are usable... & others are POS made out of cardboard.

TECHNICALLY, unless you have purchased one, or have seen one in person, do YOU really KNOW if they are fakes? Are you not assuming as well as I? Unless you've had one, you are just assuming like me. Not to be ****... but you started it.

It's obvious Mazdaspeed would never produce a wheel like that, along with a hub with "JDM hub" actually printed on the box.

But a steering wheel is a steering wheel, as long as the hub fits, the wheel should work as intended..

Actually, read below the pictures..

320mm TYPE 2 BLACK STEERING WHEEL
MAZDASPEED STYLE WITH BLUE STITCH

That's what I was thinking... unless the wheel is made of cardboard... it should do the job in theory... that's why I am considering an imitation steering wheel... I was hoping to find someone on the forum that had used one though

Maybe I didn't state this... I know I could get an aftermarket wheel from Mazdaspeed themselves (or Sparco or Momo)... a steering wheel seems like a fairly simply design... so I would think that most are about the same. Which is why I am asking about a knock off wheel. But I've decided to just wait & buy a used Sparco/momo wheel. Thanks anyways

Ebay... quite a few of them turn up used out of Japan. I think I gave 200 or so for it about year ago.

Speaking of that, I ran into a Black button and I was going to hit up you up, but it only had a few hours left.
