Momo N41 (410mm) deep dish steering wheel or...?
This wheel http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/s...ring-wheel caught my eye.

Large-ish diameter & deep dish. Also the Sparco 368 http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/s...uede-380mm

Latter is cheaper & may be a more practical size.

What are anyone's thoughts on rectangular wheel for a Defender? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

Completely barking. Unless you're a fan of the Austin Allegro, in which case it's still completely barking Laughing Darren

I liked Allegros Embarassed

But here I was hoping more leg clearance... Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

I too like the mono. But it certainly needs to be about 14" as the standard wheel is huge ! Why so big ?! I want a smaller wheel but the price tag of all the nice ones are an off put I may buy one of the cheaper ones to begin with and save up for a decent one

If FCX's customised Nero were not so expensive I might go for that. But he wants £355, & the standard one is £190.79. Big difference. Enough to afford a standard + quick detachable boss. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world.

Some very nice wheels there, especially in the second link....love the "retro" look of some of them.
Cheers, Pickles.

That is also a very nice wheel....How old is it?....Momo have always made magnificent wheels...my 1991 VN Group A Commodore had a similar wheel to that, obviously not the same, & not as "rounded", but the similarity is there.. a Ghibli 111, I think it was called.

My set up does include the boss as well and all the leather work which isn't included in your price in all fairness when comparing BW Rolling Eyes

Thank you BPman Bow down

Fair enough. What diameter size is the Nero you customise? Is it the same size as the one in your "tangoed" 130 at Billing? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world.

Can you cover larger diameter wheels similarily, if sent to you? If so what charge? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender
