I have no idea of the quality of the item but it seems a nice shape - how on earth can they make money on this compared to OEM one?

I dont like the sound of this comment though:

Fast delivery and as described - not the highest quality but good for the price

looks like a PC gaming steering wheel to me.
I wonder if there is a vibrating seat and baseball cap (to be worn at a fashionably jaunty angle)available to match? hehe

Its looks rubbish. Best bet is good Quality wheel that looks simple - Either retrim Lotus one or Momo or Sparco wheels are good. Simple is best and all leather / Alcantara is the way forward.

If your going to swap, better to pay more than, somewhere like Demon Tweeks use to do a good selection. For instance: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDeta...

Still prefer OEM steering wheel, retrimed in Alcantara or Leather tho....But actually advised by instructer that I need to try adding some spacers to get ideal driving position, not sure how easy that is to do...

i wonder if you could bend it?

£25 for the steering and £20 for the postage.

I suspect a lot of the cost of the steering wheel, or at least any profit, is being hidden in postage.

I dread to think how that would fare in an accident.
