Im in the market for a new steering wheel, Ive narrowed it down to either the spoon leather wheel, mugen RIII or mugen FG-360 wheel. Pricing is right around the same and it will be attached via nrg quick release and hub for security reasons.

Heres where I need your opinions and experience. Ive never driven or held anyone of these wheels and the last thing i want is to put it into the car and not like it. I wanted to know any pros and cons you guys had with either one of these wheels. i also want a wheel thats pretty thick to hold on too unlike the nardi wheels that are pretty thin.

thanks for the help

I have had several wheels throughout the years and hands down my Spoon wheel has been my favorite. There is nothing I don't like about my Spoon wheel other than the stitching has faded significantly and it has gotten a little beat up. However, I've been using it everyday for over 3 years on my DD. When you factor in how much I've used mine it has held up exceptionally well.

Originally on my 97 #104...


Currently on my 98 spec...

 

Looks awesome with the cluster and sounds great. Thanks for your input.

 

I vote for the spoon as well, def my favorite wheel. I'm getting another soon so both my cars have them!

 

Thanks for your input also... Anyone had the mugen wheel???

 

mugen atleast looks different, spoon is just a momo with a overpriced horn hutton

 

I've had a Mugen Racing III recently and didn't mind it, but I felt like I woulda liked it more with driving gloves since that's what it was designed to be driven with. I got rid of it tho while the suede was in great condition since I was going to street drive it (bare hands kills suede fast) for a little before taking it to a track. Mugen is also not as much to grab onto also... then again, I am 6'3 and have long alien fingers lol I plan on getting a thicker wheel and think I'll enjoy it a little more. Suede also fades quicker than leather.

Never had a Spoon but have seen/felt a friends, both wheels look better/smaller in person that's for sure.

Mugen - track only (in my opinion)
Spoon - Street or track

 

and Mugen isn't? lol Afterall, they are both made by MOMO...

 

I don't think the FG360 is made by Momo, but I could be wrong, it is made in Japan vs momo being in Italy.

 

I believe your right

 

I was referring to the Racing III, but that's interesting to know tho

 

Your input on the mugen R III was very helpful thanks.

 

spoon ftw, nice simple clean look

 

Spoon. Had experience with both.
