Similar. I believe the MOMO one in the Evo is a little smaller - perhaps an inch or two. Still a great price (yours, not the eBay one!).

What? So let me get this straight...

So not only is this item ten times the price, its also smaller than the one ive got?

Pay more, get less? Great tactics

Or the junk in the trunk?


Smaller wheel makes the car feel more responsive - hence smaller sports wheel.
Evo wheels are expensive - if you got one for a £29.99 then you're a very very lucky bunny!

That one on e-bay is, however, stupidly over priced, especially given the rubbish condition it's in.

steve is 100% right though about the responsive thing, the best mod i ever did to my old prelude was to fit a smaller steering wheel...

It gave you so much more control of the car, feedback etc etc...really odd feeling and one i never expected to get!

I have the smaller evo one on mine and it does make a difference, although the steering on the Galant range is a bit wooly at best anyway so the smaller wheel makes it feel like a normal car.

The condition of that one does look pretty bad. I guess it will be relisted in due course.
