what do you think?



now all i need is a diff. steering

[DarkWing6]

Personally, I don't like it. Looks too VW/Audi.

[uofom3]

i don't mind the look necessarily, but it is too short as far as performance ergonomics go. I wouldn't change your steering wheel, just take that cover off.

[MLADEN]

the wheel itself is a bit messed up, like not in perfect condition, and when u hold it the parts come off a little and it pisses me off, thats y the cover is on there

[parkerbink]

Maybe you could get the wheel recovered?

[Digitalwave]

M-tech I wheels are pretty cheap, you couldn't get another one in good condition for ~$50. I got mine for $25.

I like the shift knob, just not that boot.

I agree, the knob is hot, but the boot is not.

As for the steering wheel cover, not too bad looking, but have you ever heard of WheelSkins? Bavarian Autosport sells them, they are a leather cover that stitches by hand with pre-made holes, and all of the stitching is on the inside of the wheel. Looks very nice, you should look into them.

wait wait wait...plug time.....Griot's Garage sells them as well. I have seen many of them in person and they look great.

they end up looking like this:


i did the stiching in about 20 mins on xmas morning last year...since upgraded to a sparco ring wheel, but these covers are awesome...they add like 1/4-1/2" to the thickness of the grip, which is nice

I personally wouldn't buy either of those wheels because they are only about 10mm~ smaller than stock wheels, which would barely be noticable.

My Alpina is the same size as stock. I like it, but its not small.

And FWIW, I have a Wheelskins cover on it. It works.
