OMP Trecento Steering Wheels at Sube Sports - The Racing Equipment Source

Never posted new wheel pics, but here it is. Nice and thick in suede 300mm fits perfect on the WorksBell quick release. Dish is a tiny bit deeper than the Personal wheel that Sector sells.

If you have a GoPro Hero camera and aren't using the suction mount, it makes for a great V1 mount too! Just get some sticky velcro and you're all set, took about 2 minutes. The cup takes up some real estate but on my window at least I need it to peek over the core charger and below it I can't see anything anyways.

How much does your steering wheel weigh?

Does the V1 block rear view vision?

kaz · 01-11-2009, 06:11 PM

Feels similar to the Personal...both for sure heavier than your carbon wheel. V1 is off to the side so doesn't really block too much for me. The CraftSquare mirrors though have like a 3+ lane visibility so I don't mind

hmm maybe i should upgrade to the craftsquare mirrors

ZJChaser · 01-11-2009, 07:45 PM

craftsquares are great, just wish they were mounted a little higher. Should be fixing that in the near future.

The wheel looks great, thicker grip than the personal?

kaz · 01-11-2009, 09:44 PM

Yep, the only reason I really got it...grip is thicker in diameter and over tad smaller in wheel diameter but just enough...I could go 280mm I think.

Kaz where did you get the wiper and turn signal stalks? Also do they replace the entire unit or just the handles?

I was once on a mission to replicate a Sport (my car used to be yellow) and I just ordered them through the dealer (Qais at Southbay). You have to cut your plastic current ones and these kind of attach on the nubs. They are also bended less so your fingers have to reach farther...no biggie
