Default Is this cheap steering wheel worth buying? Speed Daddy quick release

I found these wheels the other day when I was looking at the NRG ones.. I don't go short on anything in my car but I don't think I want to pay $3-500 for a name brand replacement. I'd rather just use the stock one than that. I didn't really want to make another stupid eBay thread but couldn't find anyyyythinggg about these wheels.. Doesn't look at all bad to me and hey only $50?

Someone let me know if they have any idea.

cheap not quick release hubs work fine and nrg wheels work well.

You don't need to spend $300 on a steering wheel for something sturdy and functional. I prefer my $100 NRG to the Nardi classic I just sold because of the sizing.

This is also with a cheap hub, I think one of similar quality could be found for way under $100 new.

That quick release is probably a pos.

Stop being cheap. I had to remove one of those when I got this car because it was a piece of ****. The bolts holding things together backed out continually. If you're close and have to have it I can give it to you. It's still in a box full of the other crap that I removed.

Kinda figured I would get the awnser I got. Just wanted to see if anyone had tried them. I'll buy a non quick release Momo or an NRG probably.

They sell them on Ebay. Of course someone has tried them. I think you were just looking to see if someone was going to tell you that they weren't bad for the price or something.

Don't know why someone would ask a question they already knew the answer to. Reread the first post. You were trying to cheap out, plain and simple.

Chuck out the $100 and get one from NRG. Buying crappy products cost more than legit stuff. You're paying for the real thing and the junk you just tossed in the trash.
