    This looks great. I would love a two spoke steering wheel but the Sparco one is expensive.

    a lot of people don't like the flat bottom but i love it, it also gives me a little extra knee room for cruising down the highway.
    Mmmmmmmmmmmmm sweet definitely high on my wish list

    I was looking at the 330mm D shape to but I have a concern about what happens if you go to grab the wheel in a emergency situation and miss the grab due to shape????

    I want to know if the screws in the steering wheel on the right are strong enough to hold the wheel after it has been drilled for countersinking the screws?
    Where does someone get a ring with the screws exposed like the picture on the left?
    I look forward to your replies.

    The plastic on the horn was pretty scuffed so that got a polishing as well.
    I think it came out alright.

    This looks so good. I want to buy a Nardi like this. Or like the M2-1001 Type wheel

    The picture contains a question for all who have counter sunk screws in their steering wheels.

    I want to counter sink my screws on my Nardi 360 and curious about strength. Did your wheels come stock with the counter sunk screws? I wonder who would know the answer to this?

    +1 Your Nardi wheel (if real) will have 6 mounting holes that are counter sunk. You can purchase the hex screws from many places...including Home Depot (stainless steel).

    Wasabi.
    Lets assume that I do have a REAL Nardi wheel with the signature on the spoke and lets assume that I dont have countersunk screw holes and I have hex screws instead of flatheads. It would appear that your statement "all REAL Nardi wheels are countersunk" is not correct and shows a certain lack of knowledge on your part. At the very least some Nardi wheels come countersunk and some do not.
    Now enough of the BS. The question was are countersunk Nardi wheels strong enough? If so I would like to do it to my polished aluminum Nardi wheel. If anyone has done this what strength flathead allen screws did you use or what strength flathead allen screws come with the countersunk Nardi wheels.
    I look forward to your reply.

    The sport Type-a and deep corn have the countersunk holes, the classics have the flat surface and hex head bolts, so you can fit the trim rings.

    edit: The type-a and classic look exactly the same except for the countersunk holes and I assume they are made of the same metal, so I'd imagine countersinking the holes on the classic won't make it much weaker than the type-a, however it is not something that I would do, and I am not recomending that anybody else does it.
