Dangerous Steering Wheel

[Stevej172]

So ordered a Motamec wheel as my brother had just got one and also saw a few members had one.

I fitted it about 5/6 weeks ago and covered about 500 miles. Noticed it has a lot more flex in it now than when it was first fitted.

Uploaded some videos (not the best), pretty sure its shouldn't be like that??

Cheap poorly made tat.

Buy a proper steering wheel.

Yeah unfortunately figured that out now. Thought it would be ok coming from an actual company people have used. But will be buying a omp wheel now

That is comedy!

What is that even made from haha

I saw a video on facebook with a similar thing on a car that was racing, the wheel bent into an oval when he was driving.

This arrived today to replace the jelly wheel

Did your brother get one too?

He got a different omp wheel from a reputable company. However it arrived looking like a toddler made it, poor stitching, glue all over it and made in China on the back??

So he is having even worse luck

I have that wheel, should have a hologram authentication sticker on the back if it’s genuine. Nice wheel.

Yeah has the hologram, got it from YB Racing who are an OMP distributor.

Although didnt have any bolts or wires in the box??

OMP wheels don't come with anything.

I got mine from YB Racing as well. I bought longer bolts from ebay as I have a Volantech centre piece instead of the OMP Horn push and have a phase 1 stalk. As you can see in my Avatar.

 

[Stevej172]

Is that the sabelt one on their website but just sat behind the wheel?

Am looking to do something with the horn button as the yellow logo bugs me (probably more than it should). Was just thinking of getting someone to make a sticker in red writing

 

[Andy P]

Volantech on Facebook, he makes steering wheel controls. So you could do away with the Central Horn push and have the Horn buttons on the Control.

 

[Stevej172]

Will look them up. I have a ph1 so have a horn on my stalk, so just a blank would be fine
