Default aftermarket steering wheel

i have just bought a full flocked dash for my 54 plate wrx blobeye and i would like a aftermarket steering wheel to compliment my interior.

i dont wanna be spending £££ and im not really bothered about having a top brand name either,i just want something that looks ok and is alot smaller than the standard momo item as it rubs on my legs cos im a little on the large side. maybe a wheel with a flat bottom would be ok.

any ideas folks and also i will need a boss kit aswell

cheers

The only boss kit I would reccomend is the works bell kit. Lots of others are available but none fit with the clock-spring which means horns and indicator cancel don't work.

I've driven a scooby with one of these fitted, it's tiny and I'm considering it for mine...

That wheel's nice. I'd like a 4-button one in suede with a horn push so I can remote my PSI3 from the wheel.

Here's the best place to get the boss...

Shrek, don't go smaller than 350mm on wheel mate. Anything elsr will be too small and horrid to drive especially with your WRX steering rack.

Works bell boss from Luke @ Playschool motorsport.
For wheels I'd get something from the Momo or Sparco range. OMP stuff isn't very nice quality IMO.

how about an 05 on sti steering wheel (the black centred one) this is smaller and will fit without a new boss etc and you could always get it retrimmed if alcantara etc.

Cant remember where I got it from now, it's not a quick release one. Just check with wherever you get the wheel from as they should be able to supply boss's for most cars.

Thanks Matt

Flocked dash is our best buy and really changed the interior and JonMC fitted and really I can say,is worth it

About the steering wheel,Momo deep dish is good choice for daily driving,on the track my brother prefer small Sparco which most suits him and his driving style,although must admit this small Sparco is not the best on the drag strip,because blocking the vision on the RPM LED

Here is pics with Momo steering wheel fitted



Speak to Alyn@AS Performance about the boss kit,I'm sure he selling Boos kit.

Quick release kit,we are used before D1 which has been faultless
