SPG Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Basically I'm looking for some help with a decision on which steering wheel to run in my Project Supra. The opinion that I have to play with from the wheels I own are as follow. Option 1: OEM Carbon Fibre wheel (airbag) Option 2: Red Genuine TRD Steering wheel (airbag) Option 3: Same as option two but retrimmed to match the rest of the interior. Option 4: Momo Gotham leather and alcantara (non airbag, removable) wheel. The car will be OEM in looks with the emphasis on weight saving and hopefully some track action, but mainly used as my ideal street machine. Colour is Quicksilver is this helps.

Gaz6002 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I like the carbon fibre one. Personally I'd be keeping the airbag too, just in case! If you crash and haven't told your insurers you've removed it I bet they'd not pay out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Option 1 or 3 in my opinion Stock look all the way for me. With you doing some track work, I hear the TRD has a nice chunky feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the sort I feedback I was hoping for Chaps. Thanks mate, really handy to know what other have experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you Gaz, the airbag does need to stay for those purposes, I suppose I knew this subconsciously whilst purchasing both airbag models, good info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Option 3 personally. I had my TRD steering wheel retrimmed from red to black with red stitching to match the interior. Done a great job with quality nappa leather. The carbon ones are nice, but still prefer the feel of my TRD wheel.

Littler Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 1 or 3 in my view. I'm yet to fit my carbon fibre wheel so I'm not convinced yet, TRD wheel re trimmed to match the interior is a winner to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Get one from an Allegro. Guess I should have asked, which one would be most challenging for Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I always wanted a TRD wheel but I never really loved the look, if you know what I mean lol. It was all about the rarity and the prestige for me, so I would probably just hang onto it rather than putting it on the car. Airbag in the car I would always always go for this look...

TBDevelopments Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 not quite oem looking but this is my Momo Tuner wheel. Its only a 320mm as i prefer the smaller wheel, go-cart feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
