Default anyone using momo monte carlo 350mm?

just looking for info, i have the sparco lap3 which is 330mm and it is *sightly* too small, i have to sit it alittle high to see the full speedo.

the solid leather grips the best out of the 3 materials on the lap3(perforated, suede, solid) so i figured i would look into the momo... sparco does not have a solid leather wheel in 350mm.

any pics of gauge cluster sight clearance? thanks

I've got one and like it although I might have perferred suede just for that much more grip. I think sgt has one too.

i rock one, diffrent type of car, but the 350 in the wheel feels prefect, i also have trouble seeing the top of my rpm guage, but its ok. the feel of the wheel makes up for it.

a friend of mine used to have a 350mm Monte Carlo in his Integra and he loved it. I finally put in my 350mm Momo Corse and also love the size/feel. I just raised the wheel a bit so i could see my cluster clearly.

suede will not grip as well as the smooth leather unless you are wearing gloves.

Good wheel. THe look is simple without the flash and its a pretty effective wheel. 350 mm is a great size.. just nice really. Only qualm is the the leather is pretty slippery at first, but after it gets a little broken into, the grip is just nice.

Another good wheel is the Nardi Personal Range of wheels. THe Grinta is very much like the monte carlo. The deep dish nardi wheel is nice to.. feels closer to the driver.

He's right. The tilt will probably need to be at or slightly lower than the HIGHEST setting. Thumb hooks on the Corse are nice.

Do you have the courage to explain why you do not want thumb hooks?

I do. I have the Corse and the thumb hooks suck. They get in the way all the time. I wish they would have had the Monte Carlo in stock when I was ordering mine. I plan to sell it and get a Monte Carlo in the future.

Correct. I have the same wheel but mine has the black Momo button. The one in the pic is from an NSX-R. Very nice button but too expensive IMO

Spoon wheel does. And if you can find it. The Momo Corse as posted above, they made limited editions with red stiching.

yup. but IMO spoon wheel is all bling. The Momo Monte Carlo is the same exact wheel minus the red stitch and spoon horn button and costs MUCH less. *cough cough*
