[graham_172]

[Impey]

Fit...love after market wheels over the standard 172/182 wheel..

 

[clio_dude]

Looking pretty nice, i'll have a proper look soon Graham...

 

[Ian_182]

Dont like it.Looks poverty in that interior

 

[Chrisjk]

Has it brought the wheel further forward than the origional? As driving position is a big issue for me.

 

[andyroo]

How has it affected your insurance? I hate the standard ships wheel and was thinking of a renaultsport cup one

 

[graham_172]

not affected my insurance at all, wheel sits a bit closer to me but not much as i can still reach the stalk controls etc. boss was £45. needed 2 x 501 sidelight bulbs to get shot of the airbag light.

 

[Brasseye]

my insurance freaked out said i was "removing safety equipment"
Love the look of it,,,,,
maybe next year i will go with green light and do it

 

[Fletcher]

Looks great mate, how much did you for it?

 

[rustybolt]

how you removed the airbag light using bulbs?

 

[MarkCup]

Nice wheel.

Me too.

I've got a 300mm wheel, boss, and 60mm spacer along with a seat/harness going on tomorrow. I'm interested to see if I can get a position where legs are supported and the wheel and gear-lever are within easy reach as standard is terrible. I'll let you know how it feels.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Sorry . Not keen on it at all . The colour , how it looks .....

 

[Christopher]

I like that!

 

[Iridium]

Not my cuppa to be honest in a Ph2 FF interior. But I bet it's loads nicer to drive with than the boat wheel heh!

Chers Mark, let me know how you get on. Currently to get a comfortable grip on the wheel and for the position of my long legs i have to have the seat as far upright as it will go, and im still not as close as id like to be upper body

That's exactly the same as me.

I've dropped the wheel so low it obscures the instruments just to get the top of the wheel an inch closer.

I'm not sure there's a solution, as it's the pedal/gear lever position that doesn't work.

Wooden blocks on your shoes and a hand on a pole

 

[planetx]

looks gash imo.
















only kidding ....love it

Graham take a look in the Technology/Photography section...some new pics of Roys car

 

[Penfold84]

Love the pics mate.... You may hay have to show me how you got rid of the Air Bag light... i got mine on still

 

[Ali]

Looks good! Very few nice wheels out there!

 

[BarrySX]

I fitted the same wheel to my PH1 around Christmas, really love the look and feel of it though it has started to wear quite quickly :dapprove:

 

[graham_172]

don't mind if it wears quickly. are you wearing gloves when you drive. dirty hands eat suede
