    Go with the sparco!


    Just kidding, I prefer the 300 round myself. I think the cornered ones look wierd, and they're more expensive.

    300 is way too small. you wont be able to see the gauges and stuff

    you also dont need to buy the zionsville kit, you can do it yourself

    I think this is for his racecar...he can put the gauges wherever he needs so he can see em.

    Why such an expensive wheel? will a cheaper wheel not be able to do the same things? I guess if it's for a race car you can splurge...Oh yeah, first wheel looks nicer.

    don't go with either of those two they are both stupid and way to small in an e30 the smallest you want is a 340mm

    a truck, and my esca-legs.
    i would go for the 300 compititon wheel, and if you can, the bimmer emblem in the center (of course). a round sttering wheel gives you better control, in my opinion at least.

    It's an e30 not an e46...suede wouldn't fit well I don't think.
