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


Looking closer its actually embroidered so would last.

I know it's not Jap but I can't see past the OMP WRC. It ticks the following:

  • Perfect diameter
    Nice feel -the diameter of the ring is nice to grip, and with no finger grips it's comfortable to use any angle / spin round
    3 spoke -can see the clocks in an SW20 and ST205 perfect
    Nice dish -brings your hands a little closer, the bend in your elbows is much more comfortable and makes steering experience allot more positive


...I never really found that in any other wheel I tried so far, it's well worth the price. Fair doos if a Jap wheel does that also.

I'm going to say go with the personal though, just to be different..

no to suede in a road car though, wear out really quickly and get dirty from bare hands!

Lol! Well it's not that bad! Ha ha! Mine is all black, does not have the silver bit at the top... And to add I did not actually pay for this, it was given to me by isotta when I sent them a stock MR2 steering wheel so they could manufacture the polished aluminium boss that I have.
So there... Makes me feel better. Ha ha! :lol:

Each to their own I suppose but it Reminds me very much of the tasteless late 90's and early 00's when big veilside bodykits, chrome wheels, neons and max power were still around

but if you like it and you enjoy your car who am I to judge?
