I'm really spewing I was hoping to buy an AU LTD leather/woodgrain (the one with half leather half woograin at top and bottom), but now they are gone :( :(

I like the new ones from autotek that are available on ebay, but not enough. Silver, red and blue isnt enough choice.... hopefully they make a woodgrain version soon.

I got my momo off ebay from seller (performancelamps),i paid for it and it was here the next day!!! I also ordered a matching momo auto shifter knob off the autotek website and the morons let me order and pay before emailing me to tell me they didnt have any left in the particular color anymore and their website hadnt been updated with what was available and what wasnt!!!
BTW dont the cars with the momo wheels as stock items retain the dark grey colored horn/airbag centre?

OK ... I decided to rock up to Autotek on my lunch break from work today .. and guess what ... they had a Black/Grey MOMO steering wheel there ... and I got it for $220 .. also got a MOMO leather auto shifter for $90 as well.

Not bad ... was expecting to pay more from there.

More things to put on the ute now.

The wheel feels awesome to hold ... can't wait till i have it on the ute now.

Dam iv been working now and have enough money to buy the full ts50 kit but trying to hold back grrr its tuff! Im not sure if im gonna make it through the day now. My parents reckon i should keep the cash and upgrade to a wrx at end of year and give em my car but its tuff not modding it.

I purchased the momo from performance lamps last week they said the money came through the next day and they will send it out in the next mail out... when ever that is.

I bought a red/black one on Ebay about 2 months ago, and haven't seen a new one since. Do you need to repair because the leather is shabby, or is it falling apart?

The red leather is rather shabby, and the perforations are very frayed; it really is at the end of its tether. On first inspection I thought a clean, some treatment and re-dye might do the trick, but now I think it's beyond that. If I can't get a new wheel, I'll have to have the old hand grips removed and new red leather stitched into place. The black part of the wheel is ok; not the best, but serviceable. I'll post pics when I pick the car up. All the cars I saw had pretty tired steering wheels.

HP Dude, that sounds the way mine was. I changed it for a new one at about 180,000km.

When I saw your pic, I got this overwhelming sense of deja vu! Now I just have to try and get my hands on a new one....

Usual price on ebay is $99. I bought mine cheaper with the wheel & shifter in a package.
