my personal fav is the OMP superturismo. I'm eyeing up one at work though its going to be a while before I get a chance to fit it.

I used to have an OMP Corsica, which is nice as it brings the rim a bit closer. The suede doesn't last forever, though, and you really need to wear gloves too.

I have this one - I think.

Sparco wheel

Just one thing I have found is that you really need to wear the appropriate gloves with a suede steering wheel or else they go slick and slippy.

I have the same as Steve posted, and an OMP Corsica i think, both very nice. But as said, suede really doesn't last that long tbh.

Karting gloves make a good cheap alternative to the race ones (if your car is for trackday/road. I'm going to start using mine for my drive to work in the cold mornings lol

will you consider the deep dish too? it gives a more rally style and brings even closer.

I have just ordered my self a OMP Corsica, but I will have the wheel quite close to me.

 

Here you have one Sparco that isn't that deep. Sparco 353

I didn't know neither until I tried with different depth spacers. After all I borrowed my friend's semi-dish to try.

 

Will have my seat lower later next month, so I will be sitting further back. Will the the spacer with deep-dish again. :rolleyes:

 

my first bought steering wheel when i bought my first 205

If your after the rally style but not the price there is a seller on everyones favorite auction website that sells the OMP Style wheels with a boss for around £50 oh and centre horn button is included.
