Quick steering wheel question...

hey guys,

My leather wrapped t/a steering wheel is starting to wear out. The leather is flimsy and frankly i thnk a new wheel will spruce up the interior. I love the momo wheels but im 17 and that is way to expensive for me. I found two on ebay that look like rip-offs of the momo's. My question i which do u like more and will these fit?

Wheel 1

Wheel 2


Sorry bout big pic, not sure yet how to resize.....

THere are basicly two main types of wheels, the Momo's and it's copies/derivatives and whatnot, and Grant. Grant uses a 5 bolt pattern, and Momo and the likes use a 6 bolt. Other than that, I havent heard of any car you could mount a universal steering wheel to without an adapter.

Of course it could happen with the right car, but I would be certein of what's needed to mount it. And remember that an adaper could cost you more than that wheel. At least it was some $55 + shipping for my last momo adapter.
