Anyone got one of the cheapy eBay steering wheels? They tend to be Momo or OMP rip offs. Any good?

In short no, search YouTube there is a video showing how wobbly they are, i personally wouldn't want to run one as any sort of impact or aggressive steering movement will bend it

I have seen one (not sure if its the same one as the one you mention), but that was a bit staged. I have read a few reviews that are all positive, but don't know anyone who has actually had one.

absolute  rubbish

 

 

get a good one, its the only thing that actually holds you to the road  (technically)  

 

a good cheap one i know of though are a rally design one. RMD they are called.   not bad, not GOOD, but not bad

RMD I have heard of, and not for good reasons:

JJC do a budget range so I may investigate them.

well i had a car with a RMD one fitted, fairly new. i couldnt make it move at all giving it some welly, or twist or bend it, but that was one time.  didnt look too nicer quality either, as i said, not bad, not GOOD, but not bad.

 

i ended up getting a suade momo one which was tonnes better, real solid, very well made and for 110 quid i thought was well priced:)

 

 

get a second hand known wheel, i got a moto lita one at an auto jumble for a tenner:)

I have a couple of Momo race steering wheels but they are faded/ not perfect and I am looking for a minter. I may have to sell them and save up for a new one.

Bit the bullet and ordered another Momo.

I have a cooper steering wheel ?

I have a cooper steering wheel ?

Thanks, but it needs to fit to a removeable Momo boss.

On an RWD escort forum I use, a member on my there sends knock off OMP wheels from Taiwan, and by all accounts they are very good and wouldn't tell the difference

The 25 pounds ish are terrible.... But I fitted an ''real leather spacro'' steering wheel to my mini that cost £45.

When I bought it I had low expectations, but intact I liked it so much I've now got one for my Lupo but in the suede.


I can tell you for sure that they do not just snap... I've tried putting all my wieght on them and theyre fine abd haven't worn away either. The ONLY fault I can find is that the anodising fades to a browny colour, but I actually like that

I really like these! My mate has one in his 205 GTI. If I can work out what boss I need to order I may get one for the clubby.

Its covered in that silicone stuff they make phone cases from.

If you like living, don't do it....... its pretty obvious fake wheels (as with most fake things) are bad news.  Same treatment to both just done in a funny way.  Plus you can buy a real wheel for anything between £100-200 new so why risk it? 

 

 

 

Buy a fake wheel =
