Momo Prototipo
 
Any one have one of these are there Miata? How do you like it?

Looking for a nice classic sports car steering wheel. I have been bouncing between the Prototipo and a Nardi replica. Going to mount them using a NRG thin hub and 2.5 quick release.

Prototipo, can get in black or brushed, I am thinking black

I'd be careful with the dished wheels, with the hub and quick release, it might be too close. My competition is fairly flat and already really close.

I love how close it is.

I have been thinking about the NRG thin quick release as well.

Snowboarder, are you using the NRG thin hub as well? If possible could you measure from the wheel spoke to the plastic steering column cover? Thanks :D

And another thousand say that they don't trust their lives to something purchased off of ebay. Personally I really like those two wheels. Not sure I would get a knockoff. Having them close to your body is probably best if you are going to be racing at all btw.

I didn't mean to say close is bad, I do like how my hub/QR/wheel combo is about an inch closer than stock, I just don't think I'd want it much closer. Maybe I have giant ape arms, who knows.
