these are extremly rare and cost a fortune, not good as everyday drive though as they go smooth and shiney after a while, ruining the value

awesome if yuo have one though, soooo cool

they are extreemly rare because the sport evo is such a rare car, they were only available from this, and so getting one means that you have to wait till another extreemly rare sport evo bites the dust, which isn't too often due to the facted that they tend to be pampered or salvaged should the unforseeable happen

i just thought it was a crap pic, never seen a decent pic of one yet.

do you have one andy (pic i mean, not the wheel, obviously)

it is a replica car so your probably right, it could just be a tech 2 recovered with suede

I think these wheels are awesome! I was recently in france at Lemans and saw up close a nice Sport Evo, looked inside and saw a mint Steering wheel, they look like they feel so nice. I can imagen how easily they would wear though, espiecally as a daily driver.



I want one none-the-less though!

i've never seen them properly, only in crappy pictures, noramlly taken from further away than that one abve, usually taken from other side of car so don't get to see it properly.

i do however want one, but wouldn't put it on the sport as

a) its impracticle as it wears far too quick for 260 quid

b) it wasn't standard and everyone (including myself) would know i'm a tit......i might as well add an m3 badge.

unless it offered significacnt advantages if i were racing or whatever, but then i would get a sparco or omp wheel from demontweeks or whatever for less than 260 in the size i wish, so kinda rules that out too.

however...........its still good
