Question Queustion about leather wrapped steering wheel

Hey guys, woody and i are confused about the standard leather wrapped steering wheels that came with the xr series, apparently the standard black leather steering wheel is MOMO but its not imprinted on the wheel itself?

I doubt they are a momo product. Just a standard wheel wrapped in perforated leather. I had the same on my S-pack, very skinny and no contours.

If youve got the Tickford plate that says it has a MOMO wheel installed and you have a black perforated leather one, then yes at some point it's been swapped.

Yeah swapping the MOMO stuff out for standard stuff seems to be a pretty common occurrence from what I have seen. According to my Tickford build plate my car should have had a MOMO gear knob, but seeing as it was probably one of the easier things to swap out I only had a standard plastic item.
