my steering wheel is falling apart... like the leather is freaken shredded and the thing looks like its molding or something.

so this joker is like $50 shipped and looks decent. reason not to get it?

the only thing I would be concerned with is that hub messing up and me losing steering while driving. steering is important.

well it does give your car an extra turning edge...

for a temporary fix until you can get a real steering wheel, go for it.

Wow.

I like the "JDM hub adaptor."

I say fine a spw model 4 on ebay, although I haven't seen any lately. It may be cheap, but its bound to be crappy. Save up a bit.

There is quite a few reasons not to buy that wheel:
1. it is a Momo "style" wheel, but not a Momo wheel.
2. Comes with a Nismo horn button, but is not Nismo.
3. Seller has 34345 sales under his belt, but only a 95.8 positive feedback rating? Read some of the feedback to see what peoples's issues have been.
4. See Gorgasm's post, buy a shit wheel and hub now, then buy good ones later, you'll have purchased 2 wheels to get one good one, why waste the time or money? Go ahead and get a good steering wheel from Logan

i got a personal blitz wheel...bought it from logan. its perfect, for the price. if i had more to spend, i would have gotten a nardi, because they are cool. but the blitz wheel (330mm) IMO is perfect, it feels good in your hands, and is not to big or small..just right. those ebay wheels are shit, so dont bother with them.

Yeah, I like the "JDM Hub Adapter". ROFL. I would just go ahead and buy a decent one. I am holding out for a Wooden Nardi. *a

never had any trouble with my ebay wheel, its round, and it bolts to a quick release. Id take this wheel over any $100+ steering wheel. $35 shipped for mine and it turns in the same circle as any "JDM" wheel.

I have that one in my other car. Piece of crap if you ask me. Friend has a fake bride 325 thats a lot better quality then that one. They look almost the same but the build quality is better on the fake bride. I have an OMP in the 240 and wouldnt trade that for anything, unless they made smaller nardi's or something.

i agree, how does a steering wheel go bad, it loose stiching and everything unravels? They are all the same, except some 12 year old Taiwanese kid put mine together not a Yakuza company.

Sorry just saw 3 fast 3 Serious.

That hub dont look to good as far a quality is concerned and that might affect you're safety. Do it right the first time and get a high quality wheel and hub not some fake nismo style wheel. Hit up Logan he's got good steering wheels and hubs I know cuz I bought my stuff from him.

You mean Sparco, right? I dont think bride even makes wheels, and the ones on ebay were fakes.

could be wrong, though

I have one of those fake Bride wheels. It works just fine, just as well as any other wheel and it only cost $35 shipped.

how are you fools going to do wood grain in a car with no other wood grain! keep a theme.

so whats the difference between 350mm and 330mm (besides the obvious 20mm)

I heard s2000 wheels are 350mm. I like the way that feels.
