    What size wheel are you looking for? I can probably hook you up with a genuine Momo here in Japan. If anyone else is looking PM me with details.

        my nardi wheel

        Here is my latest acquisition going into my cabrio. I just found out this isn't a nardi wheel but what bmw calls the "bmw wood line" wheel. so it is authentic bmw part.

            i was browsing eBay for wheels and found a lot of the usual ones that I and everyone else seems to like (various wooden nardis, momo retro, momo prototipo, chrome spoke pearl JDM style wheels) but they were quite common and i wanted something a bit different. Came across this 'Momo F1'. Not sure what model it is, looks similar/same era as Momo F1 Volante but obviously its not that...what pushed me over the edge for it was the oddness of it haha i think it should suit an e30 too.

            It's 350mm so i am really hoping it doesnt block my gauges, anyone care to comment? i thought perhaps a spacer may help push it up to clear if it doesnt initially?

              Anything smaller than 370mm will block the gauges.

                i see. well that is a vast majority of aftermarket wheels so i will just live with it i guess!
                maybe when i get some buckets theyll sit lower than factory seats?

                        This is my Raid HP 320mm wheel. Everyone keeps asking me if it's too small, but I love it, and driving any other car with standard sized steering wheels feels like driving a bus to me.
                        It does block the upper portion of the instrument cluster though.

                          Just installed a350mm Momo Monte Carlo as well. Doesn't block the instrument panel and feels very nice. It doesn't look too overkill either.
