    Italvolanti steering wheel to MOMO hub adapters

    These adapters allow you to mount your 3-bolt Italvolanti/Atiwe/BMW Motorsport steering wheel to any standard 6-bolt MOMO hub. Prototypes have been successfully road-tested and final production will be complete by the end of the week (approx March 6th). Made of 6061 aluminum with a black anodized finish, this adapter is strong, light, and looks great. Designed and manufactured in Southern California.

        No idea what Lexus model you have, but it should work! Just buy a Lexus-MOMO hub and this will mount right up.

          Think I saw that, pre-83 splines yeah?

          Side note: the Italvolanti hubs are known for being a bit "shallow" - meaning it sets the wheel very close to your turn signal and wiper stalks. One solution is to make a spacer. However, a MOMO hub + this adapter is bit thicker and therefore shouldn't require a spacer.

            I’ve had both the 3-bolt and a 6-bolt and neither came close to the turn signal indicators. Probably an issue with the airbag cars.

                Ah this looks great! Mine was actually drilled already for a MOMO hub but I wonder if this could act like a spacer so my fingers don't hit the stalks without me having to fit non-airbag stalks (airbag car).

                  That's a great idea! The adapter is about 1/2" thick - think that's enough to space keep you from bumping the stalks?

                    I think that should be perfect. It's something I've gotten used to but if I lose it in frustration then I might be in contact with you. It's much easier than sourcing good stalks and doing all the work to put them in, plus I have to take my steering wheel off to center it anyway
