I'm going to hold my tongue on this one.

I'd hardly call that a copy of a Nardi Deep Corn.

[Brian]

that is nothing like Nardi.

[!Zar!]

Nardi? lol No where close. It looks like something straight out the arcade.

I guess it could be called a copy if it was designed by the same blind 5yr old that made it.

Just buy a real wheel.

It's a steering wheel. As long as it doesn't break while in use what else is there to ask?

And I've used something as cheap as a knockoff ebay bride pos just to finish an event. That thing flexed like no tomorrow at the top. But was still, "useable". I'm pretty sure that NRG couldn't be any worse. Looks well construced...

[A Spec Products]

I remember a friend of mine gave me a knockoff steering wheel that was similar.

One day I imagine I was the Hulk and bent the wheel with my bare hands into an oval.

Raaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwr

[s14dude]

ok, i didn't mean "deep corn COPY"

i shoulda put "deep dish STYLE" wheel.


didn't ask for bashing of the steering wheel, i asked for reviews/pics of it...

[A Spec Products]

If it fits your budget and you think its nice, go for it.

[atom]

It looks more like an OMP Corsica than a nardi. Knockoffs are whatever but I guess it's hard to really screw up something as simple as a steering wheel.

And blatantly showing you have multiple user names isn't exactly the best idea.

[FaLKoN240]

I was gonna say, looks like an OMP.

I like my Nardi wheel, I wouldn't have it any other way.

[s14dude]

what does it matter that i have multiple usernames? thats completely irrelavnt.....

i simply asked if anyone HAS this wheel and what is their review on it.

[irax]

It is a sparco knock off. i got one of them, but with a suede instead leather wrap..

its nice, i paid like 60 for it. and for 60 bucks its worth it.

you can flex it but you do have to put effort into it.

BTW Panda garage is selling prety much the same thing for like 90 bucks so its cheaper than the site you listed.

www.pandagarage.com

[20 til 3]

WAHOO, yeah its not a nardi because we all need to spend 230 bucks on a steering wheel WAHOO

fuckin waste of money for a nardi . . . you can get the same thing at autozone w/ a different brand

[s14dude]

thank you irax!


only reason i said nardi was cause of the 3 spoke and dish design. and SP on irrelavant*

[chuy]

Go Personal its cheaper then a Nardi same people though, or I ASSume

[A Spec Products]

Personal is cheaper than Nardi yes.

WAHOO, yeah its not a nardi because we all need to spend 230 bucks on a steering wheel WAHOO

fuckin waste of money for a nardi . . . you can get the same thing at autozone w/ a different brand

I disagree.

But to each his own.

And even if I didn't sell Nardi I'd still have the same opinion.

[crazyikimasho]

It is a sparco knock off. i got one of them, but with a suede instead leather wrap..



Looks more like a Sparco copy to me too:

yeah because Bentley, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, etc... are all idiots who use Nardi.
There comes a point in time when one realizes what CLASS is.
Luxury.
The finer things in life.
I mean, hey go get your autozone special.
but
When you arrive in the real world, you'll know.

[s14dude]

yeah i know personal is cheaper.......



buuuttt.......ill pass on the autozone wheel.


just seeing if the NRG wheel is worth spending the money on. a cheaper alternative to the deep corn.....

[viscid240]

Nardi is a Nardi end of discussion....

Logan owns this thread...lol:coolugh:

[s14dude]

i cant justify spending $230 for the deep corn when i know its only going to get messed up eventually. im driving a drift car, not luxury car. lol.


but the nardi is still PIMP.

you dont need to spend 230 to get a nardi

if you're not baller just buy used. check ebay, forums, certain vendors, etc. for good prices. ghost-dancer.com used to have an assload of nardi and whatnot for cheap.

brings up another good point........now if i can find a used deep corn for the price of the NRG or sparco ill nab one.


im gunna make a poll.....

[randyjordan]

quality seems good for the price

if they come in 330mm i wouldnt mind picking one up..red one looks hot.

but yeah..i like my Nardi 330..even if its all old and shit..

[jonathans15]

I took some pics of them but have yet to test them out so I can't really comment on it.
I still do not get how people make assessments on something they do not know anything about. I guess the bandwagon is bigger then I though.

Bandwagon has nothing to do with the reasons I find Nardi & Personal to be far superior to any other brand of wheels.

Better leather quality, better stitching, better construction, reputation, etc.

Does Rolex have a bandwagon too?

On a side note what the heck is that star wars death invader ray metal piece thing on the 3rd picture steering wheel?

[Brian]

yeah.... again.

Show me all the Rolls Royce cars with NRG wheels.
Show me all the Rolls Royce cars with Nardi.

[irax]

yeah....... how is a rolls royce even in the same topic as a 240?
shit because of that, should i win the next big lotto, im getting a rolls and put a 'bride' steering wheel with some 'bride' seats....

[Brian]

It ISN'T in the same catagory.
ONLY similar catagory is the face that it has 4 wheels.

Bride steering wheel. lame.
Bride seats in the Rolls. lame.

You shouldn't DOWNGRADE.
Only UPGRADE.
Naw mean?

I have a CD player in my car.

[FaLKoN240]

LOL, I don't even know how this thread exists. It's another knock off discussion.

If you want, get your Bride wheels, get your NRG wheels, get your Grant wheels.

Hahaha. I got my Nardi Deep Corn for $150. Used, check craigslist. LOL.

See, even the infamous cheapest lowballer has a Nardi!

LOL

I'm just kidding 240falkon

[McRussellPants]

I've got one of those things.

I got it from KTS though so I can pretend its legit.

I don't really care about nardi. People get Nardi boat steering wheels and think they're baller for rolling Nardi.

I'd buy a Key's Racing wheel, but thats only because It has a big yellow KEYS' RACING ebroidered on it. Rice, awesome.

A knock off's a knock off, Were not gonna stop you from buying it, if you want it get it,

I really dont care what you want to use to control your car, just make sure its safe, If it comes apart near me and you hit me, ill curb you :)

It's great that you like personal and nardi wheels. I have seen and felt them.They make nice wheels.

I just don't see how people knock on something they have never tried. They just go by what other people say. That is why I mentioned the bandwagon.

Have you ever seen the nrg ones in person?

Yes, I've seen NRG wheels in person.

I agree with not knocking something you haven't tried, but eh, I know enough to not want to use the NRG on my car.

Like I said before, to each his own, whatever fits your budget run it and be happy. I don't think I am better than someone else because I own a Nardi.

Flyer, yes, but better, no.

So what is that metal ring thing on the NRG wheel? I can't figure it out to save my life.

[s14dude]

jeesus.....talk about a blow up thread.



thanks for the pictures of the NRG wheels, i just wanted to see the quality and if people liked how they felt in the hands when driving, drifting, etc.

+1 to logan for the CD player "upgrade" !! LOL

Please feel free to continue the conversation as to why Nardi Wheels > all other steering wheels. :bow:

[SilviaSR20DET]

i have the nrg 330mm steering wheel, works fine on a budget but im sure no where near the kind of quality you get with nardi wheels. this is my temporary one when i have enough money to buy a more quality one. Bought mine off ebay for like 75 bucks...

[C. Senor]

someone with a nardi has to let me feel it, cuz i have never felt on in a car...i use sparco and i like it, but i wanna compare to the almighty nardi wheel...lol...i'm serious i'm in socal someone help a brother out.

[Red Square]

that nrg wheel is looks like copy of momo model 7 and not OMP. plus OMP Corsica is 95 mm and not 70ish mm dish.

Just come by the office whenever, we got a ton of Nardi you can "feel"

Just bring clean hands, dont get our new fresh stuff all greeeazed up

[irax]

a steering wheel is a steering wheel, it will feel the same.
I have a personal wheel on my Cressida

[sideview_180sx]

and I got the ultra cool Nardi 350mm brown leather classic. Bite me. BTW those NRG wheels are shotty copies of the ones PandaGarage distributes.

[D1champ]

I've used a no name, bent dat shit like the incredible hulk. You don't have to got out and get a nardi, just don't waste you cash on that thing either. Maybe you can find a used nardi,sparco,omp or something similar at a good price.

[illvialuver]

i agree with logan, if you like it get it but nardi shouldnt have been in the sentence at all.

[s13gold]

save the cash for a Nardi Deep Corn.

[chmercer]

some clowns be typin on this board

heres some knowledge

that wheel is a copy of a Momo mod 07 wheel

you can get thoes wheels from
ebay
KTS
panda garage
NRG apparently now
and whoever else wants to call the china factory and put a different horn button sticker

they are about 50$ on ebay

i think they are ugly b/c the holes in the spokes looks stupid to me, and the face is like mega dish which is goofy when you have a qr and shit. its pretty good if you dont run a qr though.

they are fine. the suede feels fair enough. its not the best shit in the world but its not the thinnest either. kuah has one in his car.

there isnt really anything else that i can type about these things.

also since it is a momo copy, i dont run anything momo, because momo is for BFE boys.


Will nrg make me some magic with their own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of ebay quick release hub?
I won't do that! no i won't do that!

[SilviaSR20DET]

[Adikt]

I got one off ebay for like $50 shipped. Feel's nice, stiching ain't bad, suede is ok. Only complaint is that it smells a bit funky

[bongnak]

I have one and i love it. leather stitching is strong had it on for a good 8 months or more. Went to a couple drift events with it and daily drive with it. leather is nice and stitching is good. Doesnt flex at all, No complaints here. for the price its way worth it.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Cheap is stupid. I've had three cheap steering wheels and now I'm rocking the Nardi Deep Corn. It's light years ahead of the rest. No flex, nice grip, and I just like admiring the workmanship while it's sitting on the dash after I take it off. High quality just feels better.

Knockoffs look like ass. You can put a genuine Momo or Nardi or Personal horn button on them and fool the morons who don't know quality because they're ricers. You cannot, however, fool anyone who has even a semblance of taste because the edges are not deburred as well, the finish is thinner, and the quality of the covering (both stitching and material) is lackluster.

Oh, and Bob has bitch tits.

[chmercer]

lol

genuine momo quality

[azndoc]

I run a Nardi Sport Type A 330mm and I've never had any other kinds of aftermarket steering wheels besides this one that I have now. I love it, I have seen and felt other cheap knockoff ones and it just doesn't compare up to a Nardi at all. I'm just a firm believer in quality over quantity. You may be saving a little money right now, but hey if your going to spend the money on a cheap one right now, why not just save up the rest and get the best. Do it right the first time and you never have to do it twice.

[marshun]

i have the red nrg wheel and feels good to me. the wrap on it isnt high quality and the 12 oclock marking isnt perfectly straight. i had a sparco flash 5 before this but it was all super worn.

and all this talk about bending the shit out of it? i havent bent it. but then again...you shouldnt be bending the shit out of it anyway :P

[l bricks l]

i have a nardi. i got it for 80 shipped. i have it because it's tried and true and got a bad ass deal on it. not because i wanted to jump the fanboy wagon. people say you can't really fuck up a simple design as a wheel but i beg to differ. i've seen some cheap ass eBay wheels and they are crap. i laugh at those fanboys with the flexible steering wheels.

[articdragon192]

[email protected] getting banned, hahaha. Nardi's are awesome. I had a knock off wheel for the longest time just casue it was cheap. Flexed like fuck. Was never really happy with it. Gonna get either a Personal or a Nardi for my Z in the future.

[ronmcdon]

i have nothing against some of the other nrg parts. I even have one of their quick releases on one of my cars. their steering wheels, however are pretty cheap looking. it doesn't make sense to buy something like that, given you could get a much nicer wheel like a base personal or momo monte carlo wheel for just a bit over 100 bucks.

if you're going nickle and dime over $20 or whatever the difference is between a nrg and a monte-carlo, then you shouldn't even bother wasting $$$ on an aftermarket steering wheel setup to begin with imo.

nardi wheels are great, but i couldn't see myself blowing over $200 on a steering wheel. i prefer a cheaper, small diameter 300mm personal or momo :)

[all stock]

anyone have the st007? the nrg with the buttons? i'm thinking it wouldn't flex as much since the design should be more stable.
