Just seen omp wheels on ebay for cheap,id asume there fake
has anyone got one of these, whats the quality like?
On another note, how much difference is there when driving with a deep dish wheel??
I love mine. No idea if it's real or a copy unless you post the link to the eBay ad though!
I got mine for £33.99 posted on eBay & loved it. Once you get used to the indicators being further away it's awesome, nothing like driving a car with an aftermarket steering wheel. Suede in this weather is epic too for warmth!
I love mine. Mines slightly higher quality than the really cheap eBay ones but iv used the ~£30 ebay wheels before and they felt fine to me. Mine was about 2 inches smaller diameter than standard so made the steering slightly heavier which I liked. And if you get one with a massive dish you wont be able to reach indicator/washer stalks without taking your hands off the wheel, which is inconvenient.
I've got a suede qsp one. I love it.
Jj's right about the warmth in this weather too!!
puts your hands in just the right place for driving whilst keeping your legs stretched out, all the perfect place for driving!
^^ Except for indicators, as already stated, on a road car.
There are tonnes of OMP Corsica reps all over the place, mostly cheap Chinese jobbies. They're fine for the money, but would be better if there were more around in leather. Suede is all well and good, but they're meant to be used with race cars, and therefore gloves. After a while of use they go horrible from the oils from your hands.
I've got a leather OMP dished wheel (a proper one) but it's leather and 75mm dished not 90. Much prefer the leather and means I can reach the indicators fine without taking my hands off the wheels (or stretching a lot as with the Corsica).
It's is one of the things I really want to get badly!
I always wear driving gloves. Becauseracecommute

I had a thought about your sweaty hands the other day...
someone on the '6 forum cleaned up their wheel with suede cleaner and a brush and warm water. look into it?
Yeah man, think it was Niall I spoke to about shade cleaner and a toothbrush. I'd do it if it wasn't in pinner..... Haha

Haha pull the whole engine out for me? Replace with another '6 engine and You won't owe me anything anymore......
OK!!
If you put one of those bloody xsi engines in I'll kill you

Hmmm what else do you have lying around? Xud or nad?
