Steering Wheels, Cheap vs Expensive?

[snappytravis]

I need to order a steering wheel for my 69 Camaro. I have a ididit tilt column and have been looking at the nrg quick release setup and there steering wheels as well. Just curious who is running this brand. I would also like to know the difference between say a Momo or Driven vs the NRG wheel. Is the extra money worth it? Can you tell the difference in quality between the 3 wheels? What are you using for the quick release setup?
Thanks Travis

Sparco has nice wheels also. When it comes to steering cheap is never a good idea

Don't have any experience with the brands you mentioned, but the Grant wheels are nice and they have a quick release that works on the Ididit column.

Take in mind that you're considering going cheap on what is the most active touch point in your entire vehicle.

The nicer stuff feels better, looks better and will hold up longer. If you're able to, go with the nicer wheel. You'll thank yourself EVERY time you get in the car.

I've used MOMO wheels for years and love them. They feel "right" in your hands!

I got budnik wheels and splurged on a budnik steering wheel too- def worth it!

I used a Forever Sharp steering wheel in my '67 Camaro. No complaints whatsoever. I know a lot of guys that have used them and have been impressed with the quality for the money. Lots of different styles here: http://fssteeringwheels.com/

Here is mine installed:

I just stepped up to a Sparco 345 after months of looking and holding wheels in my hands. When I first saw it, I knew it was the one. I'm loving it as it makes the whole driving experience that much better.

You answered your own question. It even sounds like a fake or scam site.

I just put a momo in my car over the weekend and it feels and looks like a quality part. NRG is a cheap china company that patent trolled Works Bell and stole their designs (Not unlike how the Chinese ripped off the creators of this intake (how this guy is legally allowed to sell this is beyond me, but who needs dignity when you can make $5 by stealing from people who actually have talent or skill) https://www.pro-touring.com/threads/...ghlight=intake

Anyway, if you want cheap, buy cheap, for some things that's fine, but if you want nicer you pay for nicer. More expensive doesn't mean better, but a given quality has a certain minimum cost.

I put a Lecarra wheel in my '72 El Camino, which is the same model I put in my old '69 Camaro 10+ years ago. Loved it so much I wanted it in my new ride. Wheel and adapter was ~$215

I use a 1968-70 option "Comfort Grip" steering wheel for my 1979 Z-28 RS Camaro Pro-touring car.I believe that they cost about around $200 for the steering wheel and horn kit.And they were an option for car.

Finally got the Nardi installed, along with New Vintage gauges and an Ididit tilt column.

Any wheel will work with any of the quick releases. The bolt spacing is pretty universal.

NRG is a knock off of Nardi and Works/bell.

Their stuff is decent quality, and they have a huge selection.

I bought a used Nardi Torino off of eBay, fit the look I wanted of the interior and really nice wood finish. Plus I know it's authentic, Nardi pits serial numbers on the back side and you can check on their site.
