Anybody have first hand experience with the quality of Isotta products?
They came to my attention a couple of days ago when a customer was looking for a hub, but flipping through their catalogue, I noticed they have a new Swarovski lineup that looks like it could Garson a run for their money in terms of flashy style, if the quality is at least par with them. They also have a variety of leather shift boots, knobs, really cool steering wheels, pedals... the usual stuff like you'd find from Momo or Sparco.
Nobody that I know of carries it locally, so I'm wondering if it's worth giving a try.

I was seriously considering buying an Isotta steering wheel when I saw there stuff online. They "seem" to have some direct competition with MOMO and Fabulous as well. However in my experience an online photo can be VERY different than what we see in person. There are a few Chrome type really cool looking MOMO wheels that once i say in person I coudl nto imagine having it in my car.
So if anyopne has photos of them in a car that was not shot in a studio that would be great :)

There was a car decked out with all kinds of Isotta interior parts in a fairly recent Performance VW mag (within the last 3 months).

by the way. I have been doing some Google cruising and have changed my mind. I think Isotta is lower end than MOMO and not very much a competitor to Garson in all around quality and design. Just my opinion Isotta will be the MUCH cheaper competitor.

ive seen Isotta in the cheap sortof generic stores here in Aus that want to seem cool. i really cant imagine it being real good quality, or at least not in the past.

I really don't think Isotta has anything on Garson/JP or Fab wheels or products. The more I look at the site the more I feel like they are wanna-be's. I really had high hopes though.
i wouldn't say wanna-bes. they are for a different market and just happened to be cross referenced here in the vip scene.
made in italy
high grade aluminum
italian leather
hand layed swarovski crystalsall qualities of a well made product, just built for a different purpose.
