Steering Wheel Pictures

Tue Jan 13, 2009 12:44 pm

well i`v just got out of bed after a long night shift thinking about steering wheels but still dont know which one to get. I`v read all your views and it seems that these are the only real wheels to go for, but this would be the order i like them in i do like that 3 spoke alpina tho

1.. BBS
2.. TECH2
3.. TECH1
4.. ALPINA 3/4 SPOKE

or what about those.....is it nardi wheels do they do any nice wheels, what about just any random/no make wheel.

I like quite a few of the wheels. I've seen the BBS one before on ebay. Didn't go for it becuase it was wooden.

I would love a 370mm suede tech2, thats what i would choose.

Tech 2 ares good, Tech 1s to me are not so good. Maybe if i got the chance to see one and feel it in a car i may be swayed over.

Personally though, i'd love a new 3 spoke alpina wheel like Barry's. Only thing is i dont have and alpina, therefore would not like the alpina badge and feel that debadging a genuine (and expensive) E30 alpina part to put a normal BMW badge on is blastfamy. To me, same as buying a brand new set of genuine alpina wheels, taking the badges of the center and putting ebay tat carbon badges on them. Just wrong. But for the look and feel i'm really considering the alpina now... as i do want the spoiler.

As for the AC S wheel. Not too bad, was thinking of buying it of someone in the for sale section. I think i offered him a 5er, a few shineys, 2 mars bars, a curly wurly and a stick of lemon shurbert or something

. I just wasn't prepared to pay for the cost of the wheel at the time. Not the best wheel though.

Which wheels are available in 360mm. Personally i think the smaller the better. I have a tech 2 380mm and definately want a smaller one.

With the Alpina wheel all you need is the Alpina gear knob which is about £40 and the interior is set.

Nardi Blacklines are lovely wheels.

Would you consider one of those? They are quite difficult to find unfortunately.

There are some pics on this page:

They are nice.

Tue Jan 13, 2009 3:55 pm

Currrently this wheel (seat has been swapped out for a Sparco Evo)

However once my boss kit arrives, it's being swapped for this

Tue Jan 13, 2009 4:07 pm

I have one of these in mine.
Dished OMP suede wheel.
With the boss the wheel is nice and close to you.

They are indeed. If ever I could get hold of one it'd be on the car in a flash. I love the M-Tech II wheels (not overly popular from what I've read in this thread) but I would gladly lose mine for a Nardi wheel.

Tue Jan 13, 2009 4:22 pm

there where two on flebay this week, one went for over hundred and the other finished last night
and went for £35 would you adam and eve it

I like this Momo that came in the wife's Golf, no idea what model it is

Tue Jan 13, 2009 5:24 pm

This is the Momo Race I had in the old 325, was a nice wheel but obscured the top parts of the instruments

Tue Jan 13, 2009 5:56 pm

No one has mentioned the squarer but way cooler RD steering wheel, though probably because I only know of 4 in the UK which is probably all of them. Of which I have one!

Tue Jan 13, 2009 6:47 pm

Tue Jan 13, 2009 9:46 pm

Who are the other two lucky owners then Gareth?

Tue Jan 13, 2009 9:56 pm

Well Oze30 is one, he even sold me his matching gear knob, if you really racj your brains you could work out the other person! Who has more rare stuff than unicorn herder?

So now I have the RD body kit, knob, steering wheel, rocker cover and 6 branch. Only one of them actually makes the car faster though, the gear knob is worth 50bhp don't you know!

Replacing the tech2 kit with the RD one?

I always thought Petes PMs said "do you want to see my red knob", Must have meant RD knob.

The price tag doesn't make it look any better I'm afraid.

i have just by chance stumbled upon this...

the price makes me feel better!

Tue Jan 13, 2009 11:45 pm

I'm stuck as to what to put on myself, at present it's got a Momo on.

Ive got a Tech 1 and a Tech 2 wheel but not sure which one to go for, might even look at a Alpina one to match the rims.

It's a Hartge 2.7 that's on eBay.

It's in the forum already. I just like the steering wheel.

Could you please give the ebay link to the Hartge wheel?

Sorry about the thread jack!!
