    Question Which Steering Wheel? HELP me decide ?

    So I have this uber rare M2-1001 Steering wheel, something like 300 or less made for the Cafe Roadster in Japan. Super minty fresh, that I had bought back in 2006 from Garage Hundred-One in Japan. They had a Cafe Roadster they were parting. Then I sold it to Adam for a while, but finally scored an M2-1001 front bumper and had buyers remorse on the steering wheel, and Adam was kind enough to sell it back to me.

    I kinda want to keep it to match with the M2-1001 bumper I have, but I just installed a Nardi Classico on the car to see how it would look, and it just fits the over all look better. What do you guys think?

    Use the MOMO M2-1001 Steering wheel? or Sell it?

    Keep the Nardi for yourself, and sell the M2 to me ^_^ (kidding of course, but I am truely interested in buying an M2 wheel)

    Better see it installed though, before we can express our opinions.

    I think they both look awesome. I've always liked the Nardi Classic, but the M2 is also a fantastic looking wheel.

    I believe that the Nardi goes better with the theme in your car (lots of shiny metal there) and retromod vibe. I would keep the M2 and use it in another future project. In the meantime it can become awesome wall art like what Adam does. If not, As you can see, there is plenty of interest here for either wheel. Either way you win.

    They both look good. It kind of depends on your build. I think the M2 is a touch more conservative (if that makes any sense to anyone but me). Or just be like RevLimiter . . . why settle for only one?

    I have an M2-1001 that needs some work that I hope to use someday. I also have a brand new Nardi Anni 50 (wood) that I was considering using along with a Mazdaspeed and a Momo. I expect I will use the M2 as my primary wheel if it looks good after a refinish.

    I think the Nardi looks better but why not keep both?

    Where/how did you find a 1001 front bumper??? That's like winning the Lotto TWICE!
