new steering wheel?

[01SaturnL200]

sup everybody, i wanted to know what wheel u guys like better, im split between the 2 :wiggle:

i have this one : http://www.grantproducts.com/grant.fm$retrieve?seqnum=124826&html=grantdetail

im thinking bout this on : http://www.grantproducts.com/grant.fm$retrieve?seqnum=124832&html=grantdetail

which one? i dunno which one, they use the same hub so that dont matter.

[holisticbeatz]

Man both those wheels are sooo freakin ugly..

I would get neither and just save my money on a Sparco, Nardi or MOMO with a quick release..

[XxJaPxOxNeEs23xX]

both are ugly nd i just got an atc steering wheel for christmas!!!

[Andrew Bohan]

i agree, neither is good

[sLiDewAys]

better than stock.?

YES. verry

therefore its good enough to buy. i have friends with gt grant wheels and they feel mucho betteroo over stock.

so....

i think you should get it if the price it right, and be satisfied and not listen to these other crap head zilvians::)

He asked for our opinion and we gave it to him.

[revat619]

Both of them are definitely not my taste, but given the choice between the two, i say keep the one you have.

wow nice middle finger, i wonder what u use them for? better yet dont telll me id ratehr not know!

[01SaturnL200]

blah blah blah, my parents got me the black one, and the other is the same price so i can trade it out w/o spending any of MY money.....

[01SaturnL200]

i know i asked for opinions, but i dont have the resources right now to afford a momo, spearco, etc.... wheel, cause i have a car note, and other bills to pay, im just getting parts for my 240, w/ extra money i get :wiggle:

[SilviaDriver]

yay for the parents!

[Ian]

actually, i have a Grant GT whel, it's the 13"

not bad considering i got it for free, i dont like how far it is from me (i'm 6'1 and i gotta lean back a bit) and there is no available spacer for it...but it's a decent wheel i guess, not as sturdy feeling as a Momo/Bride/Personal (what i've felt before)

[01SaturnL200]

im 6'1 too, i dun really like it either lol, but its in my budget for right now.

[bkfill]

nardi 360 or 330 <33333 im in love with that nardi dark wood

[susuki1220]

momo steering wheels............ Woot

[Stock-S13]

You let your parents buy you parts for your car?

How degrating.... Could have sworn this was a HOBBY in which we splurdge our OWN dispossible income..

Most my mom ever bought me was uhh hmm, right one of those oilly rag things to keep the car clean, but lets put it this way. Tommarow it rains = car wash for my car.

[01SaturnL200]

i let my parents buy shit for me when ever i can! thats parts i want/need, and less money i have to spend on them.

[Ian]

yeah seriously... being that i'm only 18 and i just graduated, i'm not rich. I still go to school and cant afford to save alot of money making 7 dollars an hour. If they buy me something, i take it with open arms...My latest present was for Xmas...Taka Oil Lines! holler!

[autobahNESSA]

keep the one you have, its the same one I got. GF bought it for me woot woot.. all of you that want momo and saprco, go ahead and spend 200 for a wheel, will it really make you that much faster? GT grant is good enough, looks decent and feels nice enough. We drive 13 year old cars or more, does a really nice steering wheel make the pile of metal that much more valuable? And wont more people want to break in to take a nice momo over a GT grant?

those were my reasons for the GT grant, its good enough, and is comfortable, plus my GF got it for me :D :D :D

[AKADriver]

Will the more expensive wheel itself make you faster? likely not

Will the ready availability of quality spacers and quick releases make their use more enjoyable? YES!

If all you want is a wheel that fits like stock and feels good, get a stock leather-wrapped wheel and recondition it. Hell, I had the nastiest, grungiest, rattiest looking stock leather wheel ever in my current S13. A few minutes of scrubbing with liquid hand soap then a shot of leather cleaner/protectant and it looks and feels great. It's much chunkier and nicer to use than the plastic wheels most S13s came with.

If I were to buy an aftermarket wheel, it'd specifically be because of the custom mounting options to tailor the position of the wheel to my tastes.

[mr_240sx]

i personally dislike both of those wheels!

[zanos]

they are fugly,if i were you,id leave the stock wheel.And who said you gotta be rich to buy a nice steering wheel?I once got brand new momo monte carlo with a hub for $120,you just gotta know where to look,and be patient.And btw,grant made some nice ones too.I got one on the junk yard for 10 bucks,and it looks just as good as momo.

[XxJaPxOxNeEs23xX]

the only reason i bought my steering wheel was to get spacers and so the steering wheel is closer to me and also so that my knee doesnt hit the steering wheel everytime i downshift. if it wasnt for that id keep my stock one with airbag on it

DUDE! STFU. whats wrong with getting free parts. jsut cuz ur car looks like beattlejuice's ass!:)

[01SaturnL200]

lmao, i think im gonna stick w/ the one i have :)

[Ian]

[sLiDewAys]

now see, that one looks funky!:(. but the one my friend has looks just like the momo exept it says gt grant1

[Stock-S13]

Last post i will ever make on this forum. Be it condesending or not. Sales are still debateble though..

First, I would just like to commend RDMII (russ) on his perdictions. You are right this new slew of 240 owner is fucking repulsive.

Second, Far be it from em to call anyone out on what is right or wrong. I am not the ideal candidate for that. But When i hear ranting bitching becuase you can not mod your car. GUess what DUMBFUCK, leave it stock! So you don't have cash for those new ROTA wheels on EBAY, so be it. Or what ever fucking tawdry piece you deem acceptable to take your parents hard earned money. Seriously, if you had any respect for yourself or your parents you would look to them and look for money, rather earn it and mod you car accordingly?

Lastly, Do not ever throw age as a factor or variable. That just fucking demeans us all. I personnaly bought my car when i was 16 well over 3 years ago with my own hard earned cash. Guess what kid, i didn't mod it... Did i bitch and look to mom and dad for cash? Absoletly not, why? Becuae its MY hobby, not theres. In all honestly, i would be disgusted if i looked to my car and knew my parents had bought my mods for me. What's the point? And well, ill level with you. You suck at life! I havent had a job since i was 17 and have a decent amount of money invested into my car, last i checke it was around 5k-6k or so.. So if you can't pull of your APC bumper, by flipping burgers all day well, yeah just DIE now...

So to reiterate; go fuck yourselves. Yes my car does have its share of battke scars, but i love that way.

So if someone buys you a mod as a birthday gift or christmas present you would refuse to put it on your car because its your hobby and no one else should be involved in it? Wow your logic is just horrible and your attempt at dragging this thread off topic is commendable -_-. People are talking about freebies here and most people don't mind help every now and then. I also bought my car myself when I was in High school but I don't go around bitching just cause I'm mostly stock since I'm a broke college student.

Anyways back to steering wheels.... Those Grant steering wheels look alright, not as good as a Nardi or Momo imho but wutever floats your boat. Having the ability to add a spacer is always a plus for us tall people when looking into aftermarket steering wheels. Theres plenty of cheap deals on ebay for good used aftermarket steering wheels.

[DRO916]

like others said, nardi wheels are of goood quality. heres mine:

riiight like parents know to get their son taka oil lines for xmas rather a shirt. does your mom/dad know about Grant steering wheels or taka oil lines?? hell does your parents know what a SAFC is? most likely not. im sure these people gave hints to their parents to buy it for them. all in all, in the end you are still getting your parents to buy you seomthing. i made it super clear that nobody is to help me fix up my car, even my own gf, this is my hobby and mine to complete.

i dont care if your 16 or even 25, getting parents to help out your hobby is gay.

hell im in college, 3rd year, with a gf n bills to pay, so why am i able to fund my own project and not have my parents do it for me, and also i am currently unemployed.

[zanos]

how did we get here???isnt this topic about steering wheels???

I'm sorry if my hypothetical situation offended your way of life in some way. If you didn't understand from my post, it was an example. In fact for xmas I recieve cash because basically my parents understand they have no idea what I like. Now don't get me wrong, I don't ask for cash, they just really don't have time to buy gifts. Also I'd like to ask how you fund your project without an income and no help from others? I'm sure all the college students would like to know.

BTW the thread is WAYYY off topic lol

[revat619]

hahaha this is funny! I know this has gotten off topic, but i had to say something! The way i see it, if you dont ask and someone WANTS to help then by all means accept it!

I never ask my parents to buy me anything for my car, but the thing is, i have a really close relationship with them and they're genuinely interested in what i do. They see me working on my car all the time and know that im into motorsports in general. Matter of fact, on my birthday a few years ago, they surprised me with drift showoff tickets! I hadnt asked for them at all, but they knew i was into drifting. Did i turn the tickets down? HECK NO!! The three of us went and had a blast! My mom had more souveniers (sp?) than me and my dad together! And when it comes to parts, sometimes i think they're more into than me, especially my mom. I remember back when i had my usdm front bumper and i had just bought the lip for it and i asked her to come check it out. Her words were. "yeah it looks nice, but your car looks like a vacuum cleaner now. you need sideskirts." I was like WTF? "ummmm ok. well its gonna be a while for those cuz i gotta save up a little more." Her response is, "well, why dont i make a deal with you, i pay half and you help me out at school with my class and our school play. I need some body to run stage crew and costumes" . "Are you serious?" (im still shocked at this point) Her response - "ummmm YEAH (making fun of my first statement). You're a good kid. you deserve it" Me - "Sweet! You've got yourself a deal!"

I didnt ask for them, i wasnt even hinting at asking. But i'd be stupid to turn that offer down!

Anyways, what im saying is, yeah its not cool to ask your parents to spend their hard earned money on your hobby, but if they offer without you hinting around then whats the shame in accepting the gift?

Oh and to SilviaDriver, my parents actually know their parts. I had a conversation about diffs with my mom the other day and she knew what i was talking about. But not all parents are the same. I think i was just blessed with a weird set. But i love em' to death! :D

[d4vech3n]

www.nardi-usa.com It may be trendy and hoping on the bandwagon but I'd go with a nardi classic. I had the 330 for a while and am now using a 360. The 330mm has a nicer response and sporty feel but its harder to turn the wheel, especially with no power steering. 360 is just as nice
