just quality of materials. totally subjective, but they just don't strike me as the same quality. particularly the leather. grade c cows or something.

I saw the Grant wheel with the 2 buttons on it...and some other ones at Kragen or Autozone or one of those.... The wheel was 50 bucks and said it fit on VWs with an adaptor sold seperately. Various sizes too. Some look really nice. Just an FYI if you dont feel like waiting for the Grant company.

Maybe I can check the one I want somehow in person. My main concern pertained to a couple of "voiced concerns" that were posted elsewhere. These concerns were far from first-hand experiences. I will make sure I am not dealing with Grade C cows when I am likely to put out nearly 5 C's for the steering wheel I like. |

I did a quick search and a place called LTB Motorsports has the Millenium for $257 plus hub adaptors for $58. I don't know if that's normal, high, or low.
The Grant I want is on the high side of $400. Add the hub and it's over five big'ns. A quick scan at that site showed there was quite a range for Momo steering wheels ... $130-377. Most weigh in at $173 not including hub adaptor. It figures the one I want is pricey. |

What sucked about it? I know you said "quality" but could you be more specific? And why do you still have it if it's so bad?

the sponge that the grip is made of breaks down in my hands.
i had to go through 2 adapters since the first had 2 mounting bolts strip out the painted metal spokes all turned a grosse yellow colour.

LTB is a great place. that is where i bought my Momo. their prices are as good as almost any i have seen and i did a lot of homework at the time. no complaints on their service either. i am probably going to make another purchase from them here soon.

I will have to do a search from Square One. I stumbled across the Grant, saw the price, and decided I would want it despite its cost. That means it has been nearly two years since I did a detailed search. There is no time frame for me. It can happen after the engine/tranny upgrade for all I care ... or it can happen next week. I just have to blow the dust off my cm-to-in calculator. Thank you, everyone. |

I want to see it in person before anything else -- especially for what they're asking for it and having read some of the cautionary tales. |

I like the design of the wheel you picked
The grant wheel I have was a mahogany wood version($100) with metal on the inside the wheel itself felt good the adapter just didn't fit right had a little play in it up and down had to use a couple of washers to get it to fit correctly (after a couple of years of use) also it was a little small so curves on the backroads to disney world were a bit of a workout. I like the feel of my new (new to me) momo better This weekend I'll be installing my momo - ebay is a good source for them in excellent shape. I paid $100 bucks for a MOMO Fighter wood and leather version (normally 300+) Before I had the porsche dash installed momo wheel I'm installing

In the "Momo hub adapter" section on the LTB web page, it states "You may lose the horn and turn cancel features on some cars".
Does anyone know if a 1303 is one of those cars? mrweasel |
