Whatever you want -£7.50 for premium membership :wink:

Nah, don't know TBH, would need to see pics, could it be a generic wheel with just a TRD horn press?
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

this is the thing i was almost tempted to buy it even if i decided i didnt like it for my own car.
But i wouldnt know a TRD steering wheel from a tin hat! :?: :? and like you I was worried it might just be a johnny no make with a TRD badge in it.

If i get a chance I'll go back next week and take a pic then put it on here incase any of you guys fancy it.

He said when i rung him back £50 posted for it.

So could be a bargain and also might not be too.

If it's a genuine TRD steering wheel with a working airbag (see pics in link below) it's worth a few hundred £'s. If it's a generic non-airbag steering wheel with a TRD horn badge it's worth pennies.

I've got a 330mm Nardi deep corn, black perf leather with red stitching - it was about £235 from driftworks, and worth every penny

the Personal range start at around £150, which is nothing for a quality product :thumleft:


Nardi all the way, I fancy a new one but I want one with a fair bit of dish. I can never tell from the pictures online if they have a decent amount.

Not sold on the yaris wheel, it just doesnt match up with the rest of the 90's interior.

Also werent there older syle TRD wheels without airbags which look simmilar to Nardi/Personal wheels.

No offense craig but if you are willing to spend £499 plus vat on a steering wheel why on earth are you driving a mr2 ???

At a bare minimum you should be running about in a R35 :wink:

I ask myself that all the time! :lol:

To be honest though mate, given what this car has cost me so far, a £500+vat steering wheel is not a great deal.
