Hi all, my 2nd post!

I am extremely happy with the momo wheel in my AUII XR6 and don't like the standard wheel in the BA XR6T :cry:

What am I going to do? Does anyone have pics of all 3 wheels, so that I can compare? There seems to be some confusion between the momo and the sports and would like some advice.

Personally, forget the momo. For the money, there is not enough difference to the standard wheel.

You should be able to find a dealer that has both the standard and sports steering wheels fitted to cars. Nothing beats going and comparing for yourself.

On an interesting point, I heard someone recently say that whilst the sports steering wheel felt great, it was uncomfortable when trying to grip it anywhere other than where the moulding suggests you should. I must admit, I didn't notice this in the car I drove.

I've got the sport steering wheel. It does feel very good and easy to handle. I think the momo is over the top and a bit more expensive too.

Heres the difference between the three:

Standard - Leather clad, all one colour, your basic stock wheel

Momo - Same shape and size as standard, just with perforated coloured leather and a "MOMO" branding

Sports - Smaller wheel, slightly better control, moulded grips and (I think) slightly different shades of grey

Don't bother with the momo, its just a jazzed up standard. If you dont like the stock wheel, opt for the sports.

Nah it is smaller, and has grooves for your hand, whereas the stock wheel has no grooves and is bigger ( I think same size as the rest of the range -> anyone correct me here? ) I've attached an editted photo of the one above (all thanks due to #00 Lowdnes & FordForums) with highlights of the main vissible grooves.

The standard wheel is slightly sculpted, the sports wheel is heavily sculpted. Also, I'm led to believe that the wheel itself is slightly thicker and has a smaller radius than the standard wheel, though that's not obvious from the picture.
