Friday, October 06, 2006 12:23 PM
so i was lurking around looking for a new steering wheel today and i found this:

Make sure to read the whole description, and make sure that you get that style wheel. If it doesn't bother you that it's a knockoff...

Go for it!!

says sparco style. meaning what you see in the picture (a sparco wheel) may not be what you actually get. says the ittem is made from titanium. i seriously doubt they could sell a wheel made from titanium for 25$ all i can say is you get what you pay for. hope th leather doesnt fall off on you when your making a turn and you dont run into a wall or anything.

yeah, i was looking at that exact steering wheel. it's knock off of course. all it is is a cheap universal steering wheel that they put a SPARCO sticker where the horn is, they do the same with all those wheels, look around more and you will probably see the exact same steering wheel but with like SPOON racing sticker on it or some other brand. but seriously, its a steering wheel, nobody wants to pay $300+ for a real sparco setup. and to be honest, your average joe wouldn't tell the difference anyway. more than anything you'll get compliments on that steering wheel. im gettin one too so, i don't see too much wrong with it. it's black so it shouldn't fade too much to notice as long as you dont leave it in the hot sun. but i think it would be good to get a quality hub though. thats what im doin

I have the "Bride" which is a knockoff for sure cuz bride doesnt even make wheels.. but ive had no problem with it.. i got the black version.. no color.. fine so far.. only problem ive had with it.. is there is the bride stick on the horn then like a clear "bubble" thats glued over the sticker.. during those weeks it got really hot, one day it got so hot it turned the glue gooy and it slide down off the sticker a lil.. but nothing major.. im just gonna take it off and paint the circle black.. other then that i dont have a problem with it.

I ordered a quick release hub from the ebay store (AUTOSQUARE-STORE) and they both work good together.

well, idk if i would "Say" that its a true sparco or what not...but around here, it really doesnt matter, ive seen maybe 10 cars with an aftermarket wheel in my life around this area.

everybody would assume its real.
