Aftermarket steering wheel

Lefty · 25-06-2013, 08:17 PM

Hi all,

I'm looking into changing the steering wheel to an aftermarket one.

Currently checking out OMP Corsica (superleggera), basically same deep dish one as from member Porker - anyone has better ideas?

Cheers!

I'll post up a picture of my OMP Corsica + SMG paddles as an example. I've no idea who's done the installation, but it's neatly done!

Not one for the OEM fraternity! As you said each to their own, not many takers here though. M3 Race car perhaps, but not the best look for a CSL, IMO?

Thanks Neil. Seems a good price! Will only need the hub then.

I'm an oem-nut as well btw! Only thing is the feel of the stock wheel is a bit to thick for me somehow, difficult to explain. I've driven Porker's CSL a few times and it certainly feels better for me.

Know the feeling, there's thick and there's ever so sightly too thick!

What's wrong with the pair of you ? Little "Lady Hand" syndrome ?

Might just be the covering in Asian/Irish that changes the feel of the wheel over the more traditional Leather rimed M sport wheel, which is the daily drive.
But the CSL wheel does feel thicker, we can't all have bricklayers hands: massive and devoid of any sense of feeling.
I would have thought that you would have finely tuned digits too Matt, given your profession
