Changed my steering wheel!
The original was tatty and I didn't quite like the feel of it, so...
I got one of these. :cheers:
:steering:
Momo do quite a range of wheels and if anyones thinking of changing over the hub adaptor p/n that you need is 2702, this does 84-93 with tilt and slide colum.

That is slick. THat is the first wheel I've seen that really looks like it fits there. How does it feel compared to the stock one? Is it about the same thickness?

Excellent choice!
I like that almost as much as MoMo's Monte Carlo wheel. That is classic. :cheers:

Re: Changed my steering wheel! (Blighty Vette)
According to the website, that's the 'Millenium", right?? Very nice selection!! :cool: Looked at the "Race" which is available with different center colors and has the same widths.
The 320mm wheel is almost 13" in diameter and the 350mm wheel is 14".
Found a source for US $ price examples at:
http://www.bakerprecision.com/momo2.htm Adapters run around $70.
Any Forum vendors sell MOMO wheels?? From some price examples, it looks like a new wheel beats the cost of having the OEM wheel re-done.

Yep it's the Millenium, I got the 350mm version and it feels 100x better than the original. It seems smaller than original although I haven't held them up against each other to compare.
You can get them direct from Momo (Rhad Performance is the USA Auth'Dealer)
heres the "Race" series

That does look great. I need to change my wheel, I used a Leather cleaner and it removed the finish on the leather. :cuss

Re: Changed my steering wheel! (Blighty Vette)
Me likey, I have had my eye on that exact wheel for a while now.
Almost put that wheel in my BMW M3 that I had as well. Probably will put in Vette once she's paid off.
Looks :cool:

Sweet -- Momo wheels are :cool: . I had a Momo wheel on my Pontiac Sunbird in high school :p: . It cost me $200 but was WELL worth it. It was called the Cavillano or something like that...

HeHe!! yeah I know.. although at the time I was on a steep camber, when I pulled away and the gauge shot up to just over 1/4 tank and 100 range.
Have some sympathy though.. over here it's currently $7.50 per gal. :crazy:
