Anyone here got a MOMO steering wheel?

Think i'll get one off the wife for Christmas, with a aluminium centre, looks sweet in the shop....

Anyone got one on their 3rd Gen, if so have you any pics?

Thanks

I ran a Momo Monte Carlo in my 89 TTA, and now I run a Momo Competition wheel in my Formula. I am throwing the Momo on my buddy's 71 Formula, and picking up a Sparco wheel with the thumb buttons. The buttons will be used for the horn and the trans brake.

Cool, are you happy with them? Do they look 'right'? Don't suppose you got any pics? I like the button idea, think I'll just stick to using the horn though!

Sorry, no pics until the beast is complete!
The wheels all look good, and give the interior a real nice performance-look. These old 3rd gens need to be given a shot of modern accessories! The Momo wheels are downright sinful to grab on to...feels goooood.

In my opinion, before you get the MOMO check out LeCarra. I have had both, and I think the LeCarra is nicer. The LeCarra has a thick grip, soft leather, no glued leather at the spokes, and the larger horn button allowed me to make an adapter so my stock IROC horn cap fits and works perfectly.

WOW! I am actually suprised that this hasnt picked up any rice replys. Personally I like MOMO products. But like some other people Im on the border of thinking it is kinda ***** for domestics. They look too......italianish. Yea thats a better word than rice. They just look like something that is supose to go on a ferrari. But damn their stuff cost alot of $$$$$$!!!!

momo isnt rice its just high quality stuff, id toss out the pos grant wheel i have on mine in a second for a momo competition

just cause some import guys like some brands doesnt mean its rice, rice is cheap crap fart cans etc

there are alot of import guys with some real high quality stuff with style, i wish more fbody owners would use that look on their rides rather then the raised white letter jacked up in the rear chrome steering wheel pos's i typically see

Whered you get the CF dash? or did you make it? I have a friend that works with it i was thinking about setting my dash plastic (around the gauges) in a mold and attempting ot vacuum bag some CF, dunno how that would come out though

anyways, later

I once asked a question about Momo long ago and got shouted for being *****. Whether u like or not, I think MOMO kicks a$$. I have a Momo wheel in my IROC and I love it. It has the best feel ever, period. I've seen Grant wheels too. They look good but they don't have anywhere near the same feel as a Momo.

Here are some photos of the Momo Competition on my IROC. I got it new off ebay with a winning bid of $150, paid an additional $45 for an adapter. Installation is no biggie.
I chose Competition because I wanted an all black wheel. My other favorite models are Fighter (shown on Mr. IROC-Z's nice convertible), Race, and Champion. It's a nice upgrade, I'm really happy with it.
