Ralliart steering wheel

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting


I've just found this on ebay. I know its probably ( well it must be) a fake but i think it looks great and i wanted to know if it fits our car... If yes, i'll probably add it to my santa's list.

edit: ive found another one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting

Just a reminder your airbag will be gone. The quality of that wheel is probably pretty bad it isn't even a momo it's only a momo "style"

45$ for a steering wheel is to cheap... there must be something wrong with it lol. But on the pic it looks good :-) By the way i don't really care about the air bag, i was more complained about my cruise control.

Nothing wrong the SW, it's just a knockoff of a similar momo wheel. Reason why it's so cheap is because it doesn't come w/ a airbag. I like the red one more than the silver one, i'd buy it, only if it came w/ an airbag.

The reason I think it's cheap is that it's just the steering wheel, no hub assembly. So as is, there'd be no way to attach it to your steering column. You'd have to buy another part (the hub) to attach it.

yeah the cruise doesn't fit the actual evo 8 sw anyways, you have to relocate the cruise control.... on an RA that is.

Will the evo Momo steering wheel fit the ralliart? I'm just curious because my initial impression was that it didn't have an airbag but I looked at an evo steering wheel last weekend and I was wrong. It does have an airbag.

DO NOT BUY THIS, I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS.

I purchased it and they send you a sticker, nothing like what they put in the picture for the center. its too small, doesnt fit, poor quality, looks like ****. The wheel itself is AWESOME but you are 100% going to need a graphics shop to make you a new Ralliart decal, exactly what I will be doing.

Very few if any at all steering wheels come with the actual hup adapters made for your car, which is not the primary reason this is cheap. This wheel really is just like any other fancy SW out there on the market today, you just arent paying for the name like momo or sparco. The only thing it may not come with is a connection for the horn. And just to clarify this, NO AFTERMARKET STEERING WHEELS COME WITH AIRBAGS, and if somebody can prove me wrong, then by all means go ahead, but as to of my knowledge nobody makes an aftermarket SW with airbags.

This is correct, however they do sell the hub adapter to makes this wheel fit fine. And it does have the horn button, as most do. This "cheap" wheel is all metal/aluminum and nice leather. Its not bad for the money.

For that price I doubt it is wrapped with leather or suede. Do you really want a vinyl wrapped wheel?
