          Monte looks sooo much more period correct. Tuner looks like it belongs in a civic.

            Haha that's what I was thinking. I'm leaning more towards the monte. Thanks for your input

              I personally prefer the Tuner styling, the Monte Carlo is gross to me.

              Here's a Tuner in my buddy's E30:

                that acually looks pretty good in the car. im not to big on the surround around the horn. do you know if you have to use that piece, like does it hold the horn button in place or can i just ditch it?

                  You can run it without that ring but I believe you will need a different style horn button and shorter allen bolts.

                    If you like the monte, check out sparco's competition range, i have the 333 and have had it in a few different cars, i plan to replace it with another 333. It has an oval shaped grip which personally i feel like i get a better grip on it. Im only like 20 min from valley forge, your welcome to come see it if you like. The oval shape doesn't really show well in photos.

                      I like the Monte much more, but the tuner looks like the grip is better. Depends on what you plan to use it for.

                        I have the Monte Carlo in my e30 325i. Love it.

                        Probably get a Momo Prototipo for my other e30, just to be different.

                            The wheel definitally looks cool but the only thing is its suede. I'll be using this wheel for everyday use and I heard with suede if you don't plan on using gloves the suede will wear off quick from the oils in your skin
