Deffinitely an upgrade from what you had before. It blends perfectly with the rest of the interior as well!

Looks really nice except for the big 'momo' ad at the top of it.

Thanks,
Yeah - I definitly could have done without the big "momo" on top. That's the only thing that bugs me, but I guess I'll learn to ignore it
Shifter **** is going once I decide with what.

A little too over the top for my tastes, but still a good quality wheel.

The Momo Champion or Momo Race would have been a perfect compliment to your interior.

Thanks rwdtech, Im not really a fan of those two either. The only other wheel I was considering was the millenium wheel - and that looks a bit too "modern" for our interiors IMO. Nice one though!

What attracted me to the V6 model was the beefy and somewhat "older" look as well as that it has some similarities to the stock one. And - of course - it helped that it was not already out-done on our cars.

The only thing is that stiched "momo" on top though... I'll see, maybe I'll black it out with some fabric dye. On the other hand, now it actually is a perfect match colorwise with my neutral/pewter interior. So we'll see
