Sports Steering Wheel

[cobrav8]

I have a grey Momo wheel on my car as it was a freebie from my dealer. They are identical in size to the standard wheel, but have nicer leather, and a momo stamp at the bottom in the leather. They are nice, but I am not sure if I would pay hundreds of dollars for one.

The grey one looks nice, and matches well with my custom pack seats. I think the blue etc are a bit gaudy - but that's a matter of taste.

I think the sports one would be better because of the shape. Is the entire wheel thicker - or just where the ridges are?

Also - on the sports ones - is the silver section where the spokes are annoying? I tend to rest part of my hand on top of the spokes - and on the momo wheel this section is leather (and the standard wheel?).

PS - the sports one is almost identical to an SS Late model camira one (excep for the centre section of course)

The entire wheel is thicker, and the silver bits arn't annoying. I rest my hands on here often as well.

Yep - well from someone with a momo one then - I would get the sports one if you have the choice. Mine was free cause the sales manager had one given to him - I would swap it for a Sports one if the option was there.

though - all the Flacon wheels are good including the standard one - compare them to my old mini steering wheel - about three feet tall, and as skinny as your pinky finger - made of horrible hard crumbly crap.

It would be good if the centre section could look better - but you are limited by the air bag.
