I had a Momo Race 330mm on my car for a year or two and can't recommend it highly enough. Very chunky wheel to hold and just about the perfect diameter. Ooh er.

..the only thing I can promise for sure is slow progress.

May 2015
just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Still in the garage...

Personal are made by Nardi though, aren't they?

I had a momo race in my car when I bought it and didn't get on with it, I now have a 330mm Nardi deep corn in perforated leather - easily my favorite upgrade to the car, really nice to hold and worth every penny.

Avensis wheels are huge! (My daily driver is an avensis t spirit) I would look at an is200 wheel if you want to go down that route, much more "sporty"

Personal is a part of nardi, which is an italian company. But the Japanese seem to have a thing for nardi/personal wheels, well mainly because there realy nice.

You can buy genunie nardi/personals from driftworks straight from japaitaly! :lol:

I prefer the deep type keys wheel, didnt someone have one in their 2 here a while back?

And yeah i'm not sure about the material on the rim, seems like it would wear pretty quickly i dunno.

Just get a nardi/personal from here!
