Default Classic steering wheels

Looking to change the steering wheel in my car. I have a nice set of seats going in this week and would like to finish it off with a new steering wheel.

I quite like the look of the omp wheels, the suede wrc one.


Lets see what you've got!

Was purchased from a scoobynet member....think i paid about £100 for the wheel and boss.Its 350mm diameter which i think is perfect......dont be tempted to go any smaller imo.

You wont believe the weight difference...

I fitted it myself but had Zen performance sort the horn out.

Dont get a suede one, it will look crap within weeks.......

The sweat and grease on your hands ruins them, ok on a rally car as you wear gloves.

The car only does a couple of thousand miles a year so it should be ok.

That would depend on how sweaty and greasy your hands are
just make sure you wash your hands and it will be fine, and dont eat chrisps and mcdonalds in your car.. iv'e had mine 6months and it still looks fine

The OMP wheel will be fine for that sort of mileage,as mine is secondhand and still looks perfect and my car only does a couple of thousand miles a year.......you will however notice that your hands get rough on a long journeys.,so gloves are a good idea.......
