thats one of the ones i was looking at.... have any close up install pics? does the adapter make the wheel come much closer? where is the best place to buy MOMO wheels?

 

This is the only closer pic I have right now, will post more later. I like the "Tuner" wheel as it's available in a 350mm size (about 14" diameter) and comes in either silver or black centers (the black center does have red stichwork) and the adapter MOMO makes doesn't locate the wheel any farther than OEM. I bought mine from LTB Motorsports (on e-Bay) and am very happy with them.

 

Not to shamelessly plug my company but check out www.fawcettperformance.com

We sell Colorado Custom billet alumium steering wheels cheaper than anyone else on the planet!

Attached is a few pics of the highest selling ones:

Classic


Two-Tone Fire with optional horn


Hancock


Personally I like the look of billet aluminum much more than the plastic-like grants or momos.



EDIT: I just realized this thread is four months old, oh well...

Heres a pic of mine...

 

Those are cool

 

Heres the one going in my car the grant elite steering wheel. Its black leather and the spokes are a mirror finish.

 

The pic doesnt show that the spokes look mirrored, they look brushed or something...

 

I looked around and none of the pics show it polished but it is here is the write up

Elite GT Wheel. Black hand grip, polished aluminum 3 spoke design with billet horn button trim ring. 14" diameter, 3-3/4" dish including styling sleeve.

 

Me too, but I plan on getting the one with 4 spokes.

My friend has a half-wrap wheel on his S-10. It's pretty nice.

 

Some people may not like mine but it goes well with my car. It still needs to be finished and painted but here is how it looks right now.

 

thats gay man.... Knight Rider sucks..

 

You can't beat the refinement of the momo millenium steering wheel.

Here is it in absolute high resolution for your viewing pleasure

Other than that, I am a big fan of the stock Trans Am steering wheel.

 

Although that wheel is nice^^^ I am still a fan of people's interiors matching with EVERYTHING done to them. From the carpet to the guages, it all should match or have a common theme. Just putting one single nice part in the interior will not get me crazy! I believe MOMO sells a matching shift **** for that wheel. I know they make a matching one for the wrx which comes with one of their wheels in it stock.

 

It is pollished you just can't see it in pics for some reason. Here is the wheel in my GTA

 

Personally, I prefer the quality feel of fine Italian leather and the clean, classic styling of MOMO better than the over-the-top, gotta-be-different-for-the-sake-of-being-different-please-notice-me styling of most billet steering wheels on the market.

 

I would agree to the point that momos and grant work very well with interiors that are meant to be kept clean or "stock appearing"

Most if not all the billet aluminum steering wheels we sell are to people with hot rods, show cars, and very expensive project vehicles for varies companies.

Truth be told, full billet aluminum steering wheels (no leather) are not very practical because they are very hot to touch in the warmth, very cold to touch in the cold, and they need to be polished constantly to keep their shine and luster.

However, there are also those out there that love to stand out and feel that if they are dropping $400 on a steering wheel that people better notice it.

Heres a couple of pics of Billy Derian's (host of Backyard Brigade on HDTV) caddy and the steering wheel he chose from us. He had it wrapped in fine ostrich skin leather as well as the rest of his interior. I don't think the steering wheel looks "over-the-top" for his interior.

Heres the ouside shot of the caddy to get a better idea of the car

 

you're gay, knight rider owns your ***

some of you guys have some really freakin sweet steering wheels. i think the momo ones look the nicest tho in that "simple-yet-efficient" sort of way.

 

I really don't intend to be pissin' on your parade but I go for function over form every time. That wheel is rather subdued and tasteful compared to most billets but still isn't very user friendly. If you cannot wrap your fingers around most of the rim sides I consider it somewhat dangerous to drive with on a regular basis. I know showcar owners like the stand-apart aspect of them and that's fine for them but I would never have something like that flame design on a street-driven car. You can barely see the gauges behind it and the wheel on your Firebird looks downright scary as I picture a sudden emergency lane change resulting in my fingers getting caught in the "spokes"! Leave the funky designs to the wheel-guys, a steering wheel is all about comfort and grip, IMHO...

 

LOL, i would have to agree with you. The flamed wheel is not my first choice of steering wheels. Its just a pic to show what the flamed wheel looks like in my car...

I have a custom modified steering wheel from colorado custom to match my wheels. I will try to nab a pic of that tomorrow.

You are right in the sense it's not the optimal steering wheel to use in high performance applications and extreme handling. But the steering wheels still have finger grooves on the back of the steering wheel for awesome grip and there are other designs out there that are much more elegant and not as funky i.e. the Classic steering wheel.

If you get them with leather, the grip is very comfortable for excellent daily driving and still provides great feedback, just not as much as the racing steering wheels out there.

It really does just come down to the application it is going in and the tastes of the person buying it.
