    Renown steering wheel

    My initial intention of this steering wheel was to be placed in my daily. Something I can use & abuse and not really care for it. After installing it and driving around for a bit, I fell in love. With its sporty and classy look, it flows really well with the e30 interior. The feel of the steering wheel is what got me the most, the suede texture and material the steering wheel is made from is top quality. As for the installation, it comes with everything needed to install and even a horn button with its wire comes in the box. All that i needed was a Momo hub which I already had and for $185 you can't beat it. Most other wheels you'd have to buy horn, ring, and wire separately.


    Overall Im really happy with the wheel. Even the service and shipping was quick, I placed my order on November the 28th and received it on December 3. I like the wheel so much that it will be replacing the Nardi that was in my garage queen.

    Nice but, I'll never run a steering wheel without an airbag personally. I've been involved in one major accident behind the wheel and I think in that instance the steering wheel airbag saved my life...

    Looks great though!

    Specs say 50mm depth, but it's hard to see in the pics. Does it have some dish to it? I'm looking to replace my ancient (first installed in my '86 Callaway GTI) Momo Monte Carlo, and I'd like a wheel with a little dish to it to bring it closer to me.

    I'd never remove an airbag from a car, but thats not to say I'd never drive a car without airbags. I imagine his e30 didn't have a drivers bag to begin with. I know mine didn't. I too had a run in with an airbag that was painful, but definitely would have been a lot worse without one.
