steering wheel opinions please!

grrr, ebay is peeing me off lately, it wont let me sign in to my account!

the price for the 225 wheel from that german shop is about £260 all in, I was hoping to get a price from ted johnson (with 10% SCN discount), but I need the part number.

mkiv r32 wheel is grey is it not! against the black Seat airbag it looks off

defo 225 if it were me

The R32 badging on the wheel would annoy me as it really doesn't look right in a Seat. A mate of mine has one in a Golf 4-Mo (A8WPG on UKMKIV's forum) and it feels great - top quality and chunky. It would still bug me about that badge though!

Be careful - a lot of wheels will bolt on, but the centre airbag section is often a different shape.

Obviously, it's the first thing you (should) notice.

I had to use a Golf airbag.

It is not. I refer again to the PICTURE OF ONE on the first page of this thread, oh and it has a Seat airbag fitted, hence the inclusion and relevance to this thread.

Perhaps you're thinking of the MK5 R32 wheel which, IMO is fugly and grey

Which is why I bought a new S3 badge to replace the .:R badge and also used a brushed aluminium badge with the Audi 4 rings to cover up the VW centre. Looks great and everyone thinks its OEM. I'll take a pic later and post it.

Come on guys, where's your brains and creativity this morning? lol

I'm on a roll today!!!

Is there a similar badge for a Seat ? (guess who's now getting tempted!)

 

[skahigh]

yes there is, easy to find on ebay

 

[Stu_pot]

I actually used an alloy wheel centre badge

well, it is...or at least ones ive seen are
but im not going to get into an argument about it.

I refer you to ROBDON's feature in PVW, cos it looks grey against the airbag...cue robbie

No OEM R32 Mk4 were available in grey, they were available with Grey or black stitching but all wheels were black leather. Fact.

If you have seen a Grey wheel then it must have been retrimmed.
