Momo Tuner fitted - replaced a Momo Quark - replaced original XS steering wheel.

All had various pros and cons but I personally prefer the latest (which might be kind of obvious…)

Quark had a nice shape and dimension, but felt a bit plasticky because it was er plastic (pvc).

Tuner seems like a logical upgrade to the original leather clad LR offering. Also fits in with the black and silver thing going on in the interior.

That looks good

You could also do a lot worse than fit an OE XS leather covered wheel. lf yours is 48 spline these are plentiful for around £100

However if like mine it's a 36 spline you've got more of a search on your hands.

l eventually found a new one for £280 and l don't regret spending the money. lt's so much nicer than the standard rubberised plastic one.

Prefer something more basic looking, like the Defender, for me. I would also say, it’s not worth fitting any boss apart from a quick release one. A great facility and takes no more room than a standard boss.

All the defenders I’ve had the Mudstuff guide to wheel, and spline numbers has always been correct and where I get my wheel and boss from.


That wheel looks great, is it just an alloy wheel centre cap stuck on in the middle for the LR badge? I’m not normally a fan of the large empty boss cap but this covers it nicely.

Cheers, Matt.

It’s a plastic centre cap that I “machined” “turned” a recess in, so that a badge would fit in the recess.

By machined turned, I spun it on a hand drill, and removed the material by gently applying a wood chisel Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

I no longer use it as went across to a quick release wheel, so it’s just in the garage somewhere.
