I was told the original steering wheel comes from a Landrover ? Does anyone know if this is truth and from wich type/year it is ?

Mine - - and all the other Tuscans I've seen are 'Personal' wheels.

I'd imagine LR items would be massive compared to the Personal item?

I know...mine has as Personal wheel as well and lr owner told me it is the same...maybe mistaken but it must come from somewhere and I can not find a new one anywhere.

I'll second John with that.

Looks better and easier to drive with as well - at least in my experience.

Not sure about the looks but I will have a look at it in the flesh maybe it will convince me...

But how is it easier to drive ??

I went with a suede personal grinta in 350mm and love it, much nicer than the standard one which is very similar to the thunder.

I tried (well test fitted) the mono trek into mine and just didn't like it, I never use the word chav but it did look a bit chav for me- and that's coming from an Essex chav with a pearl white car with black wheels oh and Ive got a staff hehe

that is a tempting idea! where did you order it (I am afraid I have to order it in the UK)?

I always thought I'd change my wheel for something different, but I really quite like the standard one now.

Has anyone here tried the grinta 330mm? Or any other 330mm steering wheel?

mrjappa: curious to know wich colour you got ? as my car is grey with black interior (same as yours I think). but they do not offer a suede black with grey tread unfortunatly and I am not sure about the red tread as it does not show up anywhere else in my car..
