So for my birthday my girlfriend got me a blue suede sparco monza steering wheel. It looks pretty cool and stuff online but i havent got it yet as it hasnt arrived through shipping.

I was wondering if anyone here had it and if they liked it. I searched and found like two reviews on it and i seen a picture of a red one in someones car on here but i lost the page and can't pm them. Any input would be great. Thanks.

I think that might be the one my friend has in his STi? He loves it.

Either way just be careful with the suede, it wears out fast especially with dirty hands.

you should always wear gloves when driving with a suede wheel. otherwise the suede will suck up the sweat of your palms and become nasty...

Better buy some gloves for driving and a wire brush.

Any driving gloves will work.

It's not a matter of being clean or not, it has to do with the oils in your skin matting the suede.

yea the oils from your skin will mess with the suede over time. keep your hands dry and clean. the moisture will kill the wheel. gloves would be the best way to go as far as prolonging the life of the wheel

i have the red one in my s13. its a sick wheel, i like that its dished and completely round, im not a fan of odd shapes in a wheel...definately get glovs. i had mine about a year and its pretty gross. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj263/mrjames240/maggies094.jpg

where can you get it for 150? mine was 203 shipped and that was the cheapest i could find after extensive search.

well, mechanix gloves are lightweight, and fairly good looking. but i think that the Sparco Meca-3 glove is pretty damn cool looking (expecially blue). and i do believe them to be fairly lightweight. while they aren't racing gloves, they are cheap, and nice.
