Postby GrumpyDragon » Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:26 pm

Hi All,
I want to buy a THIN (25mm or 1") quick release steering wheel for my car and i was wondering if anybody had bought one from ebay, or knew of any good makes to go for (they are advertising NRG, JDM etc never heard of them)?
Many thanks

Dunno about steering wheels but JDM is japanese domestic market and like saying OEM or EU, nothing to do with steering wheels as such.

I have a snap off one which is good.

the ebay ones seem to be ok.

Mine had a place for a lock which is not there anymore, and two pull button, one either side.

not sure what the thin ebay ones have

Thanks for the response, they look like a good idea as it would put most people off from taking your car, I just want to make sure it is safe, won't fall apart or come off on track days etc
thanks

Did you get one in the end? I am thinking it'll make entry and egress somewhat easier for my track car...
