Steering wheel upgrade

Post by Enda »

Hi folks,

Just wondering what you are using as upgrades, from the stock steering wheel? Some pics would be great! :)

Is it possible to use steering wheels designed for E30s, with a boss adapter etc?

Thanks,

Enda.

Still searching for a nice solid E21, on a shoestring!

E12 & 2002 wheels fit. Only e30 ones are some very early ones iirc. Momo are most readily available. Check eBay.
