    mtech I steering wheel opinions?...

    who ever owns one, or has owned one, or has used one, please leave opinions. How does it feel? especially compared to the airbag wheel? how are the grips? how smooth is it? is it worth it? how do you like the look of it? anything you think of it, good or bad is appreciated. Im pretty sure i'm getting one soon, so I want to see what everyone thinks before I commit to it. Thank you!

    Its a steering wheel, and its like $25 used in decent shape. What more is there to think about?

    Its alot better then the airbag wheel... but the M-Technic II is sooo much better then the I.

          that was vague, any other opinion on it, does it block the cluster, feel etc...

            I'm not sure which wheel you have right now, but the leather is WAY better than the rubber.

              It's too big for me too. I'm going to get a 13.8 inch momo sometime soon.

                the mt1 steering wheel looks decent when in good shape. its way too big for me, but that may be becuase when i'm not driving my car i'm driving a e46 (whose steering wheel is considerably smaller in diameter)

                  I love the look of the MTech 1 and it's a lot better than the 4 spoke wheel I had in my 86 but I agree that it is too big in diameter. As soon as I have the cash, I am switching to a cheap but nice Grant wheel.

                  Wanna buy a MTech 1 for cheap? Mine is for sale if you're interested.

                      like I said, the airbag wheel

                        like I said, the airbag wheel
                        Is the airbag wheel leather or rubber?

                          I'd love to have a smaller version of the Mtech1. I love the styling and such.

                            depending on your seating position it is the small wheels with out spacers that block the cluster

                              I just got my mtech1 steering wheel in. First hand, it's much better to the touch. It seems to be the same size in diameter as the 4-spoke I have installed.

                              Going to install it later today
