I've never liked these

My old Fiesta Zetec S had that same wheel. Luckily the colour had all but worn off it. I was quite pleased with that as it looks absolutely crap with the bright blue colour on it.

I'd like to point out, that's not my car just one I found on t'internet

Love the dished suede OMP in my Mk1 CL



..and the Personal in the Chimaera..

For awful wheels look to the yanks. The monstrosity that they fitted to the C5 can never be forgiven. The Vette C6 wheel is also awful for the price of the vehicle!

I would also include the Clio 182 wheel and my MX5s wheel. Unluckily with the '5 I did not get the Nardi, instead I had this dreadful baggy thing and the 182 makes me sweat!

Don't forget that the Yanks have to ensure safe exit from accidents for obese people who won't wear a seatbelt...

No wonder Yank steering wheels are not leather bound. Too much chaffage on exit!

Probably because it is...

Aren't they usually Momo wheels?

non airbag version in the 355 is simply gorgeous though:



Other faves of mine are:

That last Volvo one is the same in the MK1 MX5.. MOMO under that front cover.

Always liked old-ish BMW wheels. Nice and simple, fairly slim looking:



I also like L322 Range Rover steering wheels. An interesting design, as far as steering wheels go:



Ones I don't like, old Freelander 1. All bulbous, looks as though it's ill:



Also, get the torches ready, Ferrari wheels. Looks too much like a plastic toy:

Excellent call. These early 90's non-airbag three-spokers seem to be a real favourite.

That top Audi one must come close to perfection in terms of looks. I hope it feels just as good to use as it does to look at.

[VeeFour]

I'm sure most of the non-airbag 3-spokers are Momos with differing centre pads.

If they're not, they're essentially Momo copies.

my favourite has always been the Z1 wheel

I had an alcantara GT3 steering wheel in the 997. Lovely.

Not every CSL owner liked this...

But I did. A lot

Loved it, but you did need to shave it occasionally!

No idea of what its like to use, but this is a great reminder of when Citreon made proper Citreons.

[Bomber Denton]

Hang on lads, can't believe this hasn't come up yet? The legendary 'George Michael' wheel!




Get behind it and you're in for some arse out action!! D)

I was always quite partial to this one in my old Esprit



3 spokes, nice to hold and a good size given the heft of the car.
