Pics of MOMO Steering wheels in thirdgen's

I'm thinking of gettingt a MOMO Steering wheel. I can't find many pics of them in thirdgens. Here is a pic of Mr. IROC-Z's:

I think he has the fighter

I also like the champion a lot

Any one know what Momo Wheel Hub Kit I would have to get? Does anyone have any more pics. Thoughts and suggestions welcome. Thank you.

As soon as I get the many, many other priorities addressed, I'll be putting the Champion in my IROC. I think it's a great looking wheel and the suede is great to grab.

They are very expensive, but very high quality from what I've heard. I haven't looked around to much I just stumbled upon them here: http://www.autospeed.com/cgi-bin/bro...?category=861&

You can get the Champion for $170


And The Fighter for $196


Plus I think you need a Momo Boss Kit (Hub), which is $48

If you have an air bag, its a mother to remove, but I did it and it was way worth it.

That Momo wheel looks very similar to the wheel I just put in my IROC, a leather Grant GT. The only real difference is the color of the "spokes;" mine are black. I managed to get a billet aluminum centerpiece for the wheel with the Bow Tie engraved in it. I'm putting in a B&M Megashifter, too... I think that the shiny wheel center and the shiny shifter handle will provide a nice highlight in the interior. Total price was about $150... I drove over to Summit Racing to get it.



I guess I run around on empty too...

Wow some of those look really nice. Does MOMO have an adapter for airbag cars? Or do they have to be modified like the Grant ones do? I'd like to replace my Grant with one of MOMO's cammado wheels.

If you see them in person, you'll see that the Momo wheel is really quite a bit different than the Grant wheels. IMHO, the Momo stuff is in a whole different class. They're expensive, but if you price a leather Grant wheel, they're only a few dollars more.

I put a Momo wheel in my 92.After removing
the air bag installation is the same as any
other.It's probably illegal though, removing a safety device.I used the Momo hub adapter.
Part # is the same for all 82-92. Adapter cost me more than the used wheel I bought.

Thunder Racing carries Momo steering wheels. I personally recommend Thunder Racing, too. Great bunch of people who know their stuff.

I bought my Momo hub adapter ( Part#mm2401)
from Sports Car Accessories, they've got a good selection of seats and pedals as well.
Adapter is $65. My wheel is older, and I don't see it pictured in any of the ads.
I'll try & post a picture of it tomorrow.

Here is an updated picture.....with new shifter and my console put back together....and more Gas in the tank!

P.S.......if you have an air bag Car...1990-1992, the steering wheel was a bitch to put in! The removal of the bag was simple, but somehow, the Hub will not fit the AirBag column. I had to cut about one inch off the plastic part of the steering column to fit the Hub. Basically.,,,,,,it was a real pain in the ASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't have to cut anything off my column to put the Momo wheel adapter and Wheel on,
but it was a snug fit.

Hey Rich,
Did you manage to turn off that stupid Air Bag light on the dash, after removing the airbag connectors. I have removed all fuses and connections to the air bag, but that stupid light still stays on????????

Do you have a pic of your car?

There's a TON of places. Just type momo or a specific wheel model into a search engine. Last time I looked I stopped price checking after 30 or 40 online places.

Not interested in Grant? Just thought I'd ask. I have one in my car and I really like it. I got the carbon fiber model. Check it out.

Thanks for posting my photo.Although my
Momo wheel is a little worn (bought it used)
it's the best wheel I've ever had.Feels great
in my hands and looks cool too.Not sure what model it is, this style may be out of production, but I'm very happy with it.
