Steering Wheels
Hey guys and gals,

I have been thinking of changing me steering wheel like all you others, don't want to spend a big amount but want to be safe and still want arm room so to speak and keeping it closer to the dash, so where and what should I be looking at?

Or what deals could the sponsors give?

Cheers

Stu

My Mamba is adorned with Momo Millenium Sport in Grey... Mr. Green

Affords more room in the cockpit in some comfortable style and not too expensive... Thumbs Up

Don't ask me how many splines mine is but I had one of my mates spare steering wheels, from a classic Mini Cooper Thumbs Up

Direct fit, keeps it close to the stalks, much reduced diameter, needs modifying if you want the indicators to self cancel, doesn't bother me though Very Happy 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

I have the same one as Venomator, nice for room and all but I end up viewing it a bit too bling now! Would now go for the motolita instead ...

I have that Motolita and if I'd choose again, I'd probably go for a flat version of it. Great to have the steering wheel a bit closer to me on a sporty drive, but for long journeys my left arm (LHD) is a bit too uncomfortable now.
It would be great to be able to test drive the flat version for a week and also the flat and smaller version. Too bad you almost need to buy all steering wheels if you're looking for the best fit. Rolling Eyes

I decided on a Momo Tuner from LRI Solutions with their low profile boss, keeps the wheel nice and close.

I like that wheel. I like the OE type appearance. A quick look seemed to show it at around £150 ? Plus whatever the boss is.

I have a 36 spline and I'm not keen on the OE 'air bag' type wheel - but finding something aftermarket within a reasonable price range that has an OE look about it seems very difficult.
