Title: Which wheel
Post by: dubber36 on 11 February 2010, 17:34

My next dilema with my Mk2 is which steering wheel to fit.

This is the one in the car at the moment. It is an Italvolanti leather 16V wheel, that was fitted by the dealer when the car was new at a cost of over £300 :shock: It's looking a little worn, but I still like it because it is so rare.

Or this one that was in my previous 8V. This is also leather, but in very good condition. It is from a Passat, but was also standard on the G60 Golf. It is basically a leather version of the plastic wheel that the car should have originally had.

I have a mk1 Polo (I think) wheel in mine which looks quite nice. I have the original wheel (I assume its the plastic version of the second pic as mine is an 8v) if you're interested, PM me

G60 leather one mate!

They are all huge wheels but the common mk2/g60 one does it for me everytime.

I've put the G60 one on for the time being as it is in the best condition.

I will try and find someone who can refurb the Italvolante one as it feels a lot nicer to hold, and is nice because it's rare.
