Title: Best steering wheels for a mk2?
Post by: kdiz on 16 January 2009, 11:13

Just though I'd ask what are good steering wheels to put on a mk2 gti, obviously momo wheels work but is there anyone here that has put steering wheels from other cars on sucessfully.

I have been reading how the mk3.5 and mk3 fit and an older passat one I think, is there any others [even outside the vw family]?

Cheers

sidecarphil - i have the same one.

Thats the best VAG wheel to fit to a mk2. Smallest too ive heard. Much better feel than the mk2 gti one.

you can find these in early vr6 mk3's and corrados

I'm still on the lookout for one, I was supposed to get one for Christmas, but haven't found a good enough bargain yet.

I really want a Sparco one, don't know why :laugh:

Yea I like the mk3 ones, i wish there was a way to fit a mk4 wheel.
I also looked at some momo ones but I don't know if they will suit the car, the only momo one i like is the evo one but then that looks a bit new age for an older car, plus its 200 quid inc boss it  :huh:.

For those of you asking about fitments, the steering columns are the same size its just the later mk2s have a collar on them, you can fit the collar to the early mk2 columns which allows fitment of the later wheels
