You mean the MOMO steering wheels?
I also take it your looking at classics (pre 2001) cars?
MY99/00 had the nice shiny badge in the centre of the steering wheels, the MY98's had like a pressed version into the wheel (more like a brand).

Yeh they were facelifted after 54 plate which consisted of a wider track and dccd which improved the handling and got rid of the bad understeer. If you can try and go for a 54 plate +
