considering a new wheel?
« on: 12 June 2009, 19:05 »
My current steering wheel is quite tattered and fading a lot.
I'm considering a new wheel, I don't want a momo or the racing ones, just a standard VW, maybe a MK4 R32 one or a MK5 standard if it will fit?

If anyone has had any experience could you suggest some ideas please?

Also, how difficult would it be to simply clean the wheel? Any special products people have used?

Appreciate your response,
Jack

Another option is getting your wheel re-trimmed.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

Mk5.................................... No fit!! :(

So best get saving for the R32 item!! :D

Your other options would be the Mk1 Octy vRS wheel, the Mk1 Leon Cupra R wheel, the Golf 25th Anni wheel & maybe the Mk1 S3 wheel, although I'm not sure about this one, as the Mk1 TT doesn't fit.

**EDIT** Sorry, the TT wheel fits, but you're existing airbag doesn't fit onto it!
