Posted a thread awhile back about wanting to change wheels because the Simoni wheel got too slippery in the heat down here with the top down.

Will be selling this wheel, probably on EBay if no one is interested here. Too much humidity down here for this kind of wheel. I needed either leather or suede.
Decided on the Net because the silver sort of stays with the vibe of the dash and I like the identions placement...perfect. 13.5-inches...a bit smaller than the stock wheel I believe. Got my dash back! yay!



The Momo Trek wheel (D-shaped) was the same size as this Net and as a result, would have hit my knees due to the flat bottom so I returned to the round wheel.
Feels like a pizza in my hands though compared to the Simoni. The Simoni felt more
sporty, size wise. My initial impression was, "woah, this is like a greyhound wheel."
You get used to the 300mm size of the Simoni and how it just feels so racy in your hands but without rosin for your hands or tacky grip, not the best wheel for the South Florida humidity. Then again, I could of just bought some driving gloves but that is just too Alfa and one step shy of driving goggles for my comfort.
I'm keeping the shift light and dialing in 6K on the adjustable RPM dial just to go off
every time I get into VTEC. For no other reason than a shit and grin reminder to "please remain seated when the fasten seat belt sign goes on."

One note...FWIW, with a quick release hub, the Simoni would be a great wheel for track use. It has shift lights built into the wheel. Two yellow and a red. Feels incredible for spirited driving. Many different hand grips/positions. I think I will market it on EBay for a show wheel (more points?) especially with a quick release. The kids will dig that. Put it on for shows, take it off for the street.

 

Interesting.........

 

I like the Momo. It definitely fits your interior theme better.

 

looks nice plus it matches ur shift knob

 

i like the new momo much better than your old simoni, russ!
enjoy your new steering wheel!

 

what is wrong with the stock wheel ? I think its fine unless any buttons are being used for something useful ?

 

he has all the right and legit reasons for aftermarket ones.

 

The Momo wheel is an inch shorter than the stock Honda wheel. Look at my legs. This is the position of them with me damn near leaning on the glove box compartment. If I sat straight up, I would be within an inch of the wheel. Now, imagine this wheel being one inch larger in diameter.
IOW, by going with a smaller steering wheel, I am able to pilot the car with more efficiency which creates a SAFER car, especially during aggressive driving where I can turn the wheel freely without having to shift my legs out of the way.
I'm 6-4, 235.

 

the new wheel looks much better...the old one looked a bit busy(IMO) , but the momo looks just right...congrats
