I need a steering wheel for the Firenza and am looking for suggestions, I quite like the look of some of the Italian wheels fitted to 70 - 80's cars. I think I want a 3 spoke wheel any suggestions?? Anyone have something suitable tucked away in their shed or hanging on the garage wall??

Some I like..









I also like the Nova SR steering wheel

 

How about a Springalex as favoured by the Mk1 Escort rally boys or a Mota-lita wheel?

 

I think the spokes need to be silver for sure. Second one gets my vote. I think that's pretty much what I'd go for!

 

As above Mota Lita will do something you like

 

Looked on their site and nothing floats my boat

Just found this on ebay, quite like it

 

Either a Nardi wheel or do something with that Nova wheel. Lairy leather and Alcantara retrim or something.

I already had a pic saved of the first one It doesnt mention size and I'd bet its smaller than the 350mm (or slightly bigger) I really want.

 

The top one looks good but I reckon it would be huge being a truck wheel, like the design though. Not sure about the othe one above, looks small.

 

Like that lots

 

Top picture is smart martin!

 

I also like this as a slightly more modern/motorsport twist on that kinda style. Maybe a little too modern. The silver not the gold.

There's no way in this world I'd have that in my Firenza!! haha!

 

I think the decision is made..

 

Job jobbed, how will you have it trimmed? Alcantara could look pretty swish

 

is that the momo wheel in the porsche ?

 

Yes, its the Momo Retro which doesn't seem to be available in the UK

 

 

I hate those with a passion, friend had one in a mini and it always annoyed me lol

 

Nah, don't like that one.. Looks like an old Mountney wheel. I've ordered the Momo Retro now from America

 

Very neat re-trim job there - how much was it just out of interest?

 

Not a bad suggestion Rich, food for thought anyway.


Cheers,
Grant

this!

 

Lol - mine isn't "hi-spec" enough to have wood

 

That wheel isn't mine, but i tracked down the guy who re-trims them last year when i wanted mine done, from memory it was about £150, he kept them in stock already trimmed so it was a swap service.

Rob,

 

£150 is damn good for a job of that quality

 

 

Both of those may reflect your own sense of style but thankfully not mine

 

they're too cool for a vauxhall anyway
