Default After market steering wheels

What wheels are people rocking? What makes you go woo look at my steering wheel when you sit in front of it. And what sort of job is it to change it?

All very nice so far thank you.

Are most wheels a direct fit? Or do you have to buy a separate hub?

The DAMD ones are direct fit and use all the original oe stuff for mounting so it's a very easy fit and took me about 10 mins all in ,, not cheap though ,, the others will need a hub to mount it to

Hi stu, I brought it from a member on here with the boss for £120 if I remember correctly, and a 3.3ohm resister sorted the air bag light.

Those damd ones are nice but nigh on 300 quid is pushing it. Was it easy to install the radio wheel controls?

I was thinking of getting a momo quark.

Damd one was all very easy to fit and took me about 20mins to swap it all over ,, it's a perfect fit and is smaller and thicker than the oe one and feels awesome ,, had one on my last scoob aswell and will have one on every scoob I own now as they are woth every penny imo
