[OG]

if you like it rock it.

if someone tells you "i don't like that steering wheel" then they're just giving an opinion (acceptable), if they say "that steering wheel isn't vip" then they are f**king tools (unacceptable). i only mention this cause i've seen it happen online.

i'm personally a nardi fan, but i like the classic to match the theme of my older cars. that newer design looks like it would work well in a 33.

a little sporty, but would still look nice-ish.

^ I agree.

Depends on the look you are going for. That is more of a "performance" classic look as opposed to a "VIP" look.

You have an Italvolanti Steering wheels. Its not the Garson one. Close, but the Garson steering does not have the bumps on the wood grip and the angle cut of the wood is different.

The newer generation wheels have the bumps in the wood if I am correct.

I need either one of these to go in my Q. Maybe both and alternate! haha. I can't find an aftermarket hub for the y33 though.

[rich27]

I agree, if you like it rock it.

[nervekiler]

aftermarket steering wheels look good. way nicer than the worn out POS steering wheel i got on my old car.
i just dont like how out of place they look with that huge plastic peice behind the steering wheel. theres gotta be something better you can do to that and all the levers that usually hide behind the huge stock steering wheel.
anyone got any pics of someones whos taken on that thing too?

[DiegosAnotherR1]

anybody know where I can get a garson or italvolanti steering wheel? any vendors here?

[jeebus]

So on those Italvolanti wheels you just buy the wheel and if you want the crystal ring you get it from Garson seperate?

[berlinas2k2]

THE crystal ring has been discontinued
