What do you all think of these steering wheels inside of a VIP or VIPstyled car?
Any other steering wheels out there that you think would look great with our luxury rides besides Nardi and Fabulous?

I think its to much wood especially the first one..I really like the OEm wood and leather wheels..I think that they look the best by far. Very classy and luxury..Especially the wood and leather where the leather has those little wholes.

I originally bought a Fabulous steering whel and when I put it up to the car it just seemed like to much wood for me so now its up for sale. Then I almost bought that Nardi one just a couple posts up and i settled with this...

And I have to admit this one matched best out of call. Momo has a similar design with a airbag I believe. It might have been a factory one. And they also have this model which is a very similar design

Agreed. If I had black leather, I'd rock one of those.

i think the Nardi Suedes belnog better than Wood

my complaint about wood is its slick
Not safe at all
now, im not one to preach on safety, but when i have my hand slipping a little at least once a day whem im turning, who knows if it will ever happen when its a critical situation

But i sold my Suede nardi a while ago, so im looking for another one

But the classic black/black leather nardi isa close second
I hate wood..

Too much for me. Im looking into picking up a steering wheel from a newer model ES, GS, or SC. I like how there is wood in the areas where you would normally see wear and tear and then the rest is smooth leather.
