Talk me off the ledge ****INSTALLED****

Ok folks, I will confess I can afford a Nardi or Momo but I can be cheap when it comes to certain project cars I build. 

 

SO the question is this. For less than $100 I can buy either of these wheels new from ebay.  I kinda like them all, but wood makes a certain statement and I'm not sure what that is. While generic rubber and black makes another statement.  

 

What say you?

#2     would be my choice

 

Thanks, Rick

I agree the second one pictured, is my choice also.  The center horn button has character too.

and then there is this too

Silver. Or paint it to match car colour.

I kinda like the all black first one. Or the 3rd one. Is it a roundie or square light? You could stick a bmw roundel on the black plain one and it’d look very clean, in my opinion.

[OriginalOwner]

definitely #2 !!

 

Cheers,

Jump! Jump!

 

Another vote for the second one.  I'm partial to wood wheels too--I have 'em on four of my cars and love both the feel and look.  And yeah, they're slippery; wear driving gloves and look even cooler!

 

The third choice with the aluminum center belongs on an MG TC or something of that vintage....

 

And for under $100 a wood wheel is a good deal--if it's as nice in person as in the pictures.

Wood all the way between these and #2 is pretty cool.

Buy once (Momo, Nardi), cry once.   “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten”

Yes, it does...especially when the doctor is picking splinters out of your face after a crash. 💀

I'm partial to black spoke leather wrapped Nardi and Momo wheels. They look great in an 02.

Try searching cheap steering wheel fail on YouTube.

 

Your steering wheel is a safety item, you don't want it coming apart while your driving.
