The steering wheel thread

Nvm.... I got it


Ignore the skinny jeans.. I never wear them... but all my other pants were dirtay

[— Grip Driver —]

Interesting, mine is nothing like that. What is the build date on your wheel?

[tanakapz]

wtf that's some sketchy ass flex in the wheel LOOL. my momo monte carlo does nothing of the sort. its solid.

Oh ya, prototip, ohhh yaa.

*bends wheel*

OHH NOO!!

[ueru]

Damn. Yeah, my Prototipo is nowhere near that flexible, thankfully.

i have this rare d-cut nardi wheel in my ride, i got lucky i guess, but i am curious what version, model of nardi wheel is called

[Ciotti]

My Prototipo is nothing like that either, you must have a Fototipo or something.

I own 2 Prototipos. One is a recent one from when they started selling them again (dated 2009 on the back). One is from 1978. Neither flex.

Interesting though, you mention the leather being nice and soft? The leather on my newer Momo is pretty rough. Not very high quality. Nothing like my other wheels. I was shocked when I took it out of the box. The grip is also pretty damn thin. I don't love that wheel much, but it IS a solid wheel. No build issues. Just don't like the thin grip and poor leather.

Another vote for Fototipo.

Guys... maybe were looking at this the wrong way...... maybe I'm just incredibly strong.

here in Italy momo sell it for approx 200€+VAT but is easy to find some "prototopo"(?) for 110-130€.... i think there are a lot of copies on the internet.

the good part of living here where almost all the best steering wheels were made is that yesterday i found this:



i quickly recognised the diagonal cut between the two bottom holes and the shape of the spokes. u got it? it's a wooden version of the RS watanabe falcon.
after google the signature i didn't find anything but I discovered the RS watanabe falcon has a "made in Italy" on the back exactly like mine.
i suppose this come from the same factory

I have 3 MOMO Super Indy, 1 MOMO Monte Carlo, and a Classic Nardi, NO FLEX. ALL SOLID.

Are you sure you did not get a knockoff?

I was going to say it's just your super-human strength, but you beat me to it.
