[one_eight_two]

[Brasseye]

when will they make a minter that takes the airbag ?
my insurance wont touch it otherwise
all i want is a smaller dia wheel

 

[Martin_172]

cheers guys, so what you all think of them, does it make it much better to drive? more like a go kart? how do you find daily driving? any bad points?

cheers

Fred had an Isotta one in his 1.2 that was smart as fok

 

[Justin]

That top one looks awesome, did it affect your insurance?

[Alan]

Gaz that looks spot on!!

 

[MarkM]

momo monte carlo 320mm

 

[DebV6]

They look really good, but don't think I would want to compromise on the safety by losing the airbag?

 

[Brown.]

you do more damage to your self with the air bag!!!

 

[Brown.]

thats why race cars dont have em lol

 

[christurbo]

The Momo one on my VX fitted your hands perfectly:-

Ive got this for my 172:-

Very ergonomic and finished in tactile suede.


Regarding airbags --- I have had a nasty accident flipping the car and the airbags didnt go off - I was OK.

But - I would recommend getting harnesses if you are getting an aftermarket wheel for added safety.

a few pics of mine, its a momo millennium. was'nt to sure about it at first but it grew on me very quickly and i love it now. probably have it in my next car too....

 

[Thomss]

Hmmmm got me thinking now. Maybe when I get buckets I'll get a wheel at the same time.
Lets see some more pics guys, some lovely ones so far!!!

 

[DebV6]

There's so many things I keep saying I want do do to my car, Recaros, new stereo, now I like the look of the wheels...and I cant afford none of it! It's going to be an expensive Christmas for someone lol!!

 

[Thomss]

Tell me about it
getting a new head unit in a few weeks time.

[KingTrophy]

^^^^^^^are you a bus driver^^^^^^^^

 

[Ali]

Don't like any of them to be frank...

 

[KingTrophy]

what frank butcher?

 

[christurbo]

Its not a matter of liking the look of them - Im buying mine because of ergonomics and purpose.

 

[KingTrophy]

So you wouldn't like it to look like Frank Butcher either?

 

[Gaz_]

Don't like any of them to be frank...

your missing out. The feel and look of the reault item is poor. Cheap 'leather', your thumb grips will split and its the size of a bus wheel. A Smaller wheel really does transform the feel of the car

 

[lewisniven]

just wait till the 197 has been about a bit longer, then use a 197 wheel when you find one being broken, its amller and has an airbag, no doubt sum1 will figure out how to rig it up/

 

[bendee]

i was thinking that my dads got the new clio and i think the wheel on its real nice, wonderd if i could rob it but dont think he'd be best pleased.

Yeah I'm thinking of doing something like that.

 

[DebV6]

Yeah, good idea!

 

[Martin_172]

like the idea just didnt think it would be possible but suppose anything is.

im not into the aftermarket steeringwheel look but really need one as the bus wheels killing me lol!

 

[clidge]

my momo is ready get fitted on monday the same paul2k in the for sale section even without on the car when trying it in my hands the feels so comfy and have heard good things about control improvement with one i know i am getting rid of the airbag but i have had 3 accidents in the past and the airbag made my injurys worse plus i am not planning to crash my car anytime soon i have a fast drive but drive like a fooking granny he he i will get some pics up when it is on

 

[Thomss]

^^ Sounds cool.

I like mine tho :S Bit big granted, but i like the look of it!

 

[R20 CWH]

320mm Momo Commando

 

[KyleB]

that commando looks great, but iyou've installed it on the wrong side mate :rasp:

some nice wheels here

 

[Rufstuf]

I am seriously considering an aftermarket wheel now, since the standard one melted it feels horrible, all lumpy and sticky.
I fancy a rally sl@g style in suede with the yellow band at the top.
