I'm thinking of getting a new steering wheel soon, since the one in my hf has officially **** the bed. What wheels do you guys have? Pics would be cool, thanks.

 

**** the bed YIKES! NOT GOOD!

Anyway, I've got a Sparco Color2 wheel...matches the exterior of my car - perhaps very small portions of the interior in the future (stitching on reupholstered Si seats may be red when I get it done).

I got the OMP Velocita, great size and I like the OMP name. I looked at Momo and Sparco, but I like the looks of the OMP wheels.

 

Sparco

 

heres mine...dont mind the stock consol...thats the old one...

 

The Sparco looks nice, how does it feel in comparison to stock? It looks nice and cushy, and a little smaller. Is it reasonably priced, cuz after the swap I'm po.

Hey Ian, what kind of wheels is that looks good . It looks like a Sparco??

Thanks for all the info ghuys

Looks nice..
Is that the 11 inch or 11.8 inch wheel?

 

i have the stock 90 si wheel.

whats good about an aftermarket wheel?

 

I threw some pics on Imagestation. It's a Momo champion (or cometition - I always forget). Partial suede, which became unsuede quickly. Though the leather is different feeling than the other part of the wheel, and I like the difference in feel.

I really like it - smaller/thicker than stock, which is great. I've also got the the Teniq Auto snap-off system on it - nice byproduct is that the wheel's a little further out, which means that the stalks are a little more of a reach, which means no windshield wipers running when autoxing, which is always embarrassing.

what's the difference of an aftermarket wheel? well, for one, the feel different..

also, you can buy them in a smaller diameter which i feel helps control of the car easier..

plus, you can buy spacers for the hub to space the wheel closer to you, if you desire.

i have a sparco Lap 3, it's a 330mm wheel. i'll get a picture for you tonight.

 

Vice Grips.

No, actually it's the OEM wheel with what looks to be a big bite taken out of it on the top front of the wheel. I guess the girl that had it before me got hungry.

 

momo monte carlo..it's freakin tiny, but i like it. also had the stock si wheel, and a 90 prelude wheel, which i still have for sale, modified to fit civic/crx *wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what i mean?*

 

90-91 prelude baby...

 

Haha.... not true.. Smaller diameter and no power steering makes it a lot tougher to turn quickly. You must exert more force to accomplish the same turn on a bigger diameter steering. You may turn "faster" but it takes much much more effort to turn. I know cause I had a 13" steering on my RX7 and it was a bitch to park or turn abruptly. I switched it back to a 15" version and I was happy again.

 

But in blue and 12".

About the smaller diameter... steering response is increased immensely...but like BigDaddy said, at a price. More force is needed to drive the car in parking lots...

 

Got a Momo Corse (53cm) With a longer steeringwheelhub

Good old Grant GT I bought in 96!

 

POLI Black/blue wheel....with a MOMO adapter!

 

hey you guys with Momo or aftermarket steering wheels...Get those rings that go around the horn button. I think it works as a good theft deterrent and looks good cosmetically. Anyone can just pop the horn button and take your steering wheel out, even if you have "the club".

 

Momo Monte Carlo, with a quick release hub in the CRX.

 

yeah, i wasn't talking about parking lots, though, i'm talking about track.. but you are right... sorry.. i'm stupid........

but hey, it builds arm muscles!!
