um, what do the numbers mean? 3xxmm this, mm that. is that the circumference of the wheel? or hub? or ????

/lost.

Its the diameter. So from left to right, straight across the center. So to give you an idea of size; 1foot equals about 300mm.

I've been eye balling that wheel lately. Doesn't it come in suede too?

How do you like the WB quick release? I was between that and the Tekniq Race one and I went with the Tekniq cuz it was shorter. I am kind of wishing I went the other way cuz my horn was a bitch to install and if you dont put the wheel on just right you get no horn.

Also where did you get those plates in the bottom left corner to ground the horn to the column? I was actually looking to make those... I didnt realize there were already being sold somewhere

Momo something, it was bought by the first owner in 1988. I have the receipt. it was small- i could need to crouch a little to see my highbeam indicator and turn signals

The plates came with the QR. The WB quick release feels straight ballin, it just feels like a better version of the NRG one LOL, it snaps tighter, it's easier to work with, and doesn't feel as cheap when you slide the lock, etc.

hummm... kinda regretting my tekniq purchase. If your not going to use those plates and wanted to sell some....

I was wondering do you guys know if you can buy the //m sticker for a mtech 2 wheel? Mine fell off. Thanks!

I believe Bavarian Auto sells them. bavauto.com

What do those gauges in the vent do?

edit*

Never mind, I saw some of your other pictures. They're for the turbo right?

Its an Alpina Vet Gauge (cost around 1000-2000)

Measures air/fuel and a few others. Alpina cars only

Thought I would bump this thread as I've just installed a momo with a NRG quick release. I had some trouble getting the horn hookup working, but figured it out eventually.

Now I've got a terrible squeeking/squeeling noise whenever I turn the wheel. My setup is that original #4 spacer ring, then the momo hub adapter, then another #4 spacer ring (since my car had an airbag), followed by the original washer and nut.

I know the squeeking is coming from somewhere in that area as the quick release itself has no moving or rubbing parts. I took it all apart and put some lithium grease on the original washer and nut and the #4 spacer ring that those two thing tighten down on. The squeek is still there.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Since the grease I put in did not reduce the noise at all it must be coming from the hub adapter or something behind it. It almost seems like something is rubbing against the horn ring. I dont know honestly so if anyone has had a problem like this let me know what you did to fix it. This is on an airbag car btw. Thanks!

I just realized I hadn't yet posted the new wheel I just got. Nardi Deep Corn, perforated leather with red stitching, traded it straight up for my M-Tech II:

[Gray S.]

So I figured out whats making the noise I talked about in my post above. Its this little white plastic protruding piece that has a spring. It can be pushed in and out. from what I've read this has something to do with the airbag mechanism. I've only seen mentioned one place that this needs to be broken off, is there any way to remove it without destroying it? Has anyone else with a wheel in an airbag car faced this problem? I guess I can break it off if I must but I would like to be able to go back to stock if necessary.

[Gooch]

You don't need to break it off, just pull it and it will come right out.
