    I should clarify, I meant "ebay wheel" like the typical $30 wheels that were used in the videos, not to disregard all sellers on ebay!
    Good to hear.

      Ebay...many good parts and sellers in an ocean of cheap knockoffs.
      I was looking to buy one but I did some reading and their site said it would be compatible so long as the Momo hub was available for the car. I checked the Momo site and it said the hub was only available for 325s. Is there really that much of a difference?

            I bought a NIB MOMO wheel on ebay. It is a genuine MOMO wheel (as far as I can tell). That said, it was the price of MOMO wheels found on reputable sellers websites, and unlike the cheap knock off's seen in the videos posted above, it is substantial and wont bend.
            The only reason I bought it off ebay as opposed to a more established retailer is that the wheel was a NOS wheel, still in box, in a style they don't produce anymore, but had the syle and color scheme I was looking for.

            Basically, you need to know what you are buying, and if a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

                In general just don't buy anything that has a stock photo and a ton of listings.
