BTW, for any of you brave enough, REV9's site has this wheel listed new (I think) for $170 despite it being $320 normally. I paid $170 and it was brand new sealed in the box. I needed a leather wheel and this one seemed liked the best deal. I bought it for the functionality but also the added WTF. I still chuckle at how it looks like a speed boat tiller. It is so bad to look at in pictures, and also at stoplights, but while driving, it feels like all the other great Nardi products.
