finally got around to attach a momo California over the weekend. This a seriously nice wheel, but needs s little modifying to get the corvette horn button on and working. No boss just using the original what was already there but had to get the mechanic (as I'm not clues with the electrical bits) to turn the boss
aroundb to suit the screw pattern of the momo and horn placement.

Looks more like a European sports car wheel (XKE Jag??). Very nice quality, though.

Hey, we all buy what WE like for our cars.

I'm usually not a fan of most aftermarket steering wheels on our cars, but this one I like a lot!

Thanks fellas.

Yes it does look more European in style, although more 50's 60's era, heres the link to it:

there is also one in black, which probably has a more modern look, I just like wood:

Its not to chunky in the rim thickness, like some modern steering wheels, and is a good balance in diameter being between the original 275mm and more modern sports steerers at 250mm.
