View Full Version : Aftermarket Steeringwheels


AkorAceb11-20-2011, 06:01 AMHey their, I read somewhere you need a adaptor or somthing to use a aftermarket steering wheel in a MK1. I've looked everywhere and cant find any info on this. So you cant just bolt a new steeringwheel on? and if not what do you need to do so? dragraceman2111-20-2011, 06:21 AMyes you need a hub adapter to install an aftermarket steering wheel. Try looking on ebay there are a ton to chose from. One other thing, the original steering wheel in these cars is dished, so if your looking at flat steering wheels your going to probaly need a quick disconnect too, to get clearance on the turn signal lever. AkorAceb11-20-2011, 07:45 AMAlright the one i was looking at came with a quick release anywayas :) Thankyou. dragraceman2111-20-2011, 08:12 AMbecareful, I have an 87 that i put a ebay steering wheel on and came with the hub and quick dissconnect. The dissconnect sucked and it was too short. I recomend you either get a dished wheel or a "good" dissconnect. I ended up replacing it with a NRG, which is great quality and spaced the wheel back about 3 inches, making it just right, good luck. SilverFire11-21-2011, 02:03 PMGet the steering wheel first or at the same time as the hub too. Most steering wheels use the Momo/Sparco 6-bolt pattern, but I've seen at least two others. You don't want to get a hub your steering wheel doesn't fit. aaron712-29-2011, 07:51 AMYeah and there are at least two different 6-screw patterns. I know my Nardi doesn't bolt up to my Momo hub. RePete12-29-2011, 09:48 AMThe only guarantee of a perfect fit is the Momo hub, and it has the same distance spacing from the dash as the factory wheel. Another plus is if you decide to move to the Mark II, it will fit there too. aaron712-29-2011, 09:53 AMI've got an old Momo hub and wheel in my SC. Fitment was perfect :)

Just want this wheel to bolt up with no frills...thanks.

JDM DEEP DISH 330MM STEERING WHEEL REAL LEATHER W/RED | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-DEEP-DISH-330MM-STEERING-WHEEL-REAL-LEATHER-W-RED-/180780862358?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2a17610b96) aaron701-02-2012, 08:22 AMUnless that wheel is drilled for all the different bolt patterns their description doesn't make sense. Momo and Nardi use different patterns! traintech8601-04-2012, 02:48 AMhey how bout the stock wheel? i have a momo, and i don't care for it tbh. I could only imagine what would happen if i got in a wreck...I am trying to find a good stock wheel to replace it. I don't like the crap wrap that toyota put on it but in my 89 4runner, i removed it and it was good as new. crcolton01-06-2012, 01:15 AMI don't like the crap wrap that toyota put on it but in my 89 4runner, i removed it and it was good as new.

The leather (or whatever it is) on my stock wheel (86) is cracking and pretty gross... did you just cut off the wrap? The same thing was happening to my shift knob, so I just cut it off and its much better... I was thinking about doing the wheel has anyone done this? If someone has can you post a picture?

I'm planning on getting a nice wheel later, its on my want list... still have too much on the need list.:ugh: Tempast01-06-2012, 05:11 PMIs there a cheap replacement I can use? My wheel is gross and cracked and falling apart, but all these aftermarket ones are like 200+ for just the wheel. Is there any good ones (decent looks, I don't need fancy things) that are under maybe 80 bucks?
And a hub that fits too. 80 bucks for that isn't too bad is it? Desekrator01-10-2012, 09:44 PMI've heard/seen horror stories about cheap steering wheels. Unless, they were extremely exaggerated and false. Momo wheels are so nice.. Also, suede.. mmm Tempast01-11-2012, 12:36 AMI don't like the look of suede. Maybe leather? I know that some cheap wheels bend and stuff but is there a wheel thats decent for under 100 bucks? aaron701-11-2012, 07:56 AMI've heard of cheap aftermarket seats being unsafe but a steering wheel is pretty hard to screw up! If anything, they bend easier so in an accident they'll bend out of the way! haha 328FTW01-11-2012, 07:58 AMNo, they bend and snap then you fly off the end of the corner. I have a video of a car that did it, rolled 3 times. aaron701-11-2012, 07:59 AMAnd what causes them to bend and snap? Sounds like an isolated incident to me. 328FTW01-11-2012, 08:01 AMcheap shitty metal in the support for the wheel. It's hardly isolated, if it's flexing and bending with use it starts to crack the metal till one day it snaps off in your hand. aaron701-11-2012, 08:06 AMOver time I can understand. But that's a lot of flex to make that sort of metal fatigue!

Fat guy bends fake Nardi steering wheel! - YouTube aaron701-11-2012, 08:10 AMBTW, I had a regular Grant GT wheel in my truck. Wasn't dished at all. I pulled on it for a few minutes and made it as deep as a Nardi.

It was nowhere near as flimsy as the wheel in the one above but it was definitely flexible.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/aaron7/ram/SSPX3129.jpg baribari01-11-2012, 08:13 AMIf you're an average or above average height American, a hub, spacer, and aftermarket wheel are extremely important for driving a sports car.

Japanese cars are designed for people on average about 5'5". If you're 5'10" you will need the steering wheel to be closer and maybe smaller. 328FTW01-11-2012, 08:18 AMIt's really not a lot of flex to break the right metal, the whole car vibrates everytime it's running. Depending on the metal it can either never fail because of that or it can take a quite short time. You buy a really cheap chinese wheel then it can fail cause you have no idea what's in it. Metaleckz01-14-2012, 02:58 PMWhat if you buy a real authentic genuine nardi that is made in china? Lol baribari01-14-2012, 09:27 PMThey're made in Italy. So are Momo.

I have owned both. jon11901-19-2012, 11:22 AMFor a good quality budget priced wheel, try e-bay for used Momo, Sparco, OMP, Nardi, Personal (made by Nardi), Dino, Luisi and there are others that are less known. Many used quality wheels can be had for $50-$150. There are 2 "common" 6 bolt patterns - Momo has 1 hole up high centered while Nardi has 2 holes up top inline which is basically similar to the Momo pattern only offset if that makes any sense!!!

As for adapters, I would highly recommend using a Momo or Nardi as they are well built and they fit snugly and properly. These retail new for around $75 and can be found on occasion for $30-$50 used. The cheap e-bay "boss" hubs are utter garbage and I would not trust it for a minute. I had one and the threads on the spline were loose and I put in in the recycling bin where it belonged. DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON YOUR SAFETY.

I have a cheap $25 e-bay wheel (molded plastic - not leather, it looks good from far but far from good) that is going to be a wall decoration in my garage... The cheap quick release from e-bay is garbage as well and fit nicely in the recycling bin next to the hub!

Some cheaper wheels that look to be ok quality would be Grant (too american for my car...) and NRG. These "appear" to be ok but I never owned one.

The last piece of advice is to be careful in selecting the size (diameter) of the wheel. Many aftermarket wheels are very small (300mm, 330mm) and make turning the steering wheel at low speeds very difficult for a car with no power steering... A good size is 350-365mm for the MK1 and you can still see your cluster which is not always the case with the smaller diameter wheels.

Momo hub for MK1 - 7714
Momo hub for MK2 - 7715

There are also adapters on e-bay that allow you to use a Nardi wheel on a Momo hub or vice-versa for $25-$30.

Hope this helps!
