That might be the most beat-down interior I've ever seen.....

 

Haha. The whole car is beat down. Been through hell and back. 264,xxx on the odometer. The sticker is more of a funny thing rather then a serious thing. Haha. And ill post pics later on tonight. Haha. Btw. The door is not rotted

 

what the interior use to look like



not the best pic but its somethin

 

ANYWAY (get back on topic), it's a metal wheel, it's probably more dangerous than using an actual car steering wheel, and it will get hot as hell in the summer. What else do you need to know? Otherwise it's pretty much just up to you whether you want to use it or not.

 

maybe wrap the wheel in some kind of tape?

 

That's not a Momo/Sparco bolt pattern, it's a Nardi/Personal bolt pattern - which is why the wheel is crooked. They use the same bolt circle diameter but the Nardi/Personal hub is rotated 90 degrees from the Momo/Sparco setup.

 

The wheelnis crooked cuz after i put it on i roated it and the wheel locked. And then i was like eff it. And took pics

 

I just hope i provided some good info.

 

i dig it...white reflects the sun, so it probably won't get hot either. my money says it will stay cooler than a stock wheel

 

^ this guy knows whats up. Haha

 

But the whole car interior gets hot in the summer, not just the parts that have direct sun. And when the air temperature gets hot, metal parts tend to radiate the most heat.

 

Its kinda funny when i go to put the keys in the ignition the keys hit the wheel and it sounds like a bell. Haha

 

Drive safe cause if your ribs hit it alls ya gonna hear is crunch

 

All steering wheels have a metal "skeleton". If he's in a front end, it wouldn't matter if he had a stock wheel or a metal wheel, it's going to do some damage.

 

Actually it would be your skull that hits it, not chest/ribs.

 

If you had a choice to get hit with a metal bat or a metal bat with a rubber pad around it, which would u choose?

 

I agree, it's not going to do much more damage than a stock one would.


And as for the heat... It's a boat wheel, designed to be directly in the hot sun all the time. I bet it doesn't get any hotter than a normal wheel would.

 

Metal wheel in the sun in open 85° air

vs.

Metal wheel in an enclosed car cabin (greenhouse) with interior air temperature of 130° or more.

 

Show me a thermometer at 130 degrees in your car.

Boat in the middle of a lake with the suns rays directly beating upon it

vs.

Steering wheel in a hot car.

Test on weather.com showing how dangerous it is to leave kids and pets in a hot car. On a 90° day the interior temperature got up to 133° F after only 30 minutes.

http://pediatrics.aappublications.or...ull/116/1/e109

This one refers to tests where temperatures exceeded 150° after an hour on a 90° day.

And regardless if the wheel is designed to be in direct sun or not, the metal is still going to FEEL hotter to the touch than vinyl or leather would. Trust me I know, the vinyl, plastic, and leather surfaces in my car feel hot as fire on a hot day, but the metal seat belt tongue, for example, will just about burn my skin if not careful.

 

Lol stock wheels aren't that stiff, I can bend a stock wheel, ill put money down that wheel ain't bending

I bent the whole top of my wheel punching it repeatedly after a argument yrs ago, if I punch that thing like that id break my hand

I GUARANTEE there would be more damage, on the plus u can get a removable hub and beat any theives with it lol

 

I've already been hit in the face with a metal bat as a kid. So... neither, they both will hurt as fawk. Plus most metal bats are hollow. Adding rubber will increase the density of the bat, thus increasing the mass coming at you.

 

Holy ****. Hahah. The wheel is hollow. Im sure its gonna get hot. Stock wheels always do. So i wouldnt be surprised if it got hot. And like the guy said erlier. If i hit the stock wheel or this wheel. My face is gonna be fukked up. It was cheap. Its looks cool. Ebay FTW /thread

 

You don't see that everyday. Boat wheel?? I hope you never get in an accident, that wheel is going to hurt;-0uch

 

Lol bullshit anything with padding around it is gonna hurt less

The damage of collision against a solid object is much worse than a collision with a padded object, that's common sense.

Don't get why u guys are being so closed minded but ask OP to hit his head on that wheel then go hit it on a stock one.
Ill bet a million dollars on it the metal one hurts more
