At the mo, I got a really lovely plastic Mountgay steering wheel, cant beet that feeling of hard hard leather effect fisnish
Do I go for the obvious choice a MOMO, I have a bit of an orange thing going on on my dash so thinking about

But that wheel is like £140+ boss.
Or do i go for this one from ebay for £80 incl boss?

Would be good to know if anyone has seen what the quality of the ebay one is like. Surely some of the price of a MOMO is the name?

Get the momo, its a much better wheel plus it will look good with your interior. Im getting one next week but I cant decide which to get.

i was like that until i bought a used one, then i understood why they ar so expensive...
i say if you want it and can afford it do it. compromise and your regret it.

i couldnt justify paying 150 quid for a sterring wheel plus a boss and i know a few others have this wheel and none have had problems with it

Re: [All] [Generic] Cheapo Ebay Steering Wheel Vs Momo etc
Momo / Isotta replica aftermarket steering wheels seem to be a bit of a lottery from my experience.
A good mate of mine bought an Isotta replica for around the £50 off ebay, and its been absolutely fine, even after a couple of years of use.
Whereas I bought a Momo Milenium Evo replica off ebay and the quality was appalling: plastic badge snapped off, all the stiching came undone, and the quality of the leather was definately inferior to the stuff on proper Momo wheels.

Re: [All] [Generic] Cheapo Ebay Steering Wheel Vs Momo etc
I can vouch for the quality of th originals... I've had my used one on for 3 years, and a hundred thousand, and it still makes me feel special. I'm also a steeing wheels nightmare as i steer with the ball of my hand, so theoretically i wear the hell out of the wheel, the momo hasnt shown any of the wear to its leather that my company cars used to show, ie scuffing on the leather.quality of the leather was definately inferior to the stuff on proper Momo wheels
Re: [All] [Generic] Cheapo Ebay Steering Wheel Vs Momo etc
that top steering wheel is extremely gay unless its actually going on an edc spec drift car, and even then i would have my doubts.

Well spotted mate Old pic, got 1 of Rohns fitted now, with orange stitching to match the stereo surround- looks fantastic
Re: [All] [Generic] Cheapo Ebay Steering Wheel Vs Momo etc
I've a MOMO on mine that came with the car but I'd find it painful to fork out the money for a new one.
I used to have a flat bottomed Montney (I think it was called) that I got from Halfrauds which was around 50 quid and it was lovely. That, and a TRD horn looked really nice.
I think MOMO's look nice but you pay for the name.
