    Which steering wheel looks best in an Astra GSI

    guys, need some suggestions here.

    which Sparco/Momo wheel do u think looks best in an Astra GSI interior??

    Also, from ur experiences, which works better?? the full round ones or those flat based ones (not fully rounded) - if thats how u call them lmao

    Momo Race... mmmmmmmmmm

    lovely - but £141.76 aswell

    A Mountney equivilent looks EXACTLY the same but is £34.12 - but is Polyunethane as opposed to leather....

    Not sure what to get myself, probably the Mountney - any used one of these at all

    (sorry the thread hijack - just a quick question)

    A flat bottomed x2 racing wheel sprayed the same colour as ur car will get lots of looks [unless your car is black!]and works well 2. + leaves more legroom under the wheel 4 long drives.

    i can't agree more that the momo race is lovely!! but its getting way too common for my liking here in my country!!

    if u were to peek into a car thats been moded or upgraded, chances are ur gonna see a momo race or a millenium. these are really common here.

    i think my sparco ring looks great!! but the flat base makes it look a tad too small!! i only wish they'll produce a full round sparco ring at 350mm. that'll be one helluva wheel!! lmao lmao

    my sparco doesn't turn too well, its rather rough. the momo boss rubs the column too!! i had to sandpaper off alot to get rid of the scuffing sound!!

    Not a MK3 I know
    I got this wheel, similar to the MOMO Race, but it's something a little different from what most people have:

    MOMO Jet

    ok ta... another quick question...

    the only difference between these two are: ones MOMO, ones MOUNTNEY, they both look identical - and the MOMO ones is leather, and MOUNTNEY is polyurethane.... any other differences? MOMO one is £130 - and the MOUNTNEY one is £40

    pics of both:

    Mountney:

    MOMO:


    Also nice:


    the jet
