What is going on with Momo steering wheels?
I first bought a new Momo Tuner 350mm It measured 14” top to bottom and the top grip measured 3 3/4” circumference. The whole wheel was hard as a rock. Everything said made in Italy and the wheel looked nice. I bought it through EBay and returned it. I then bought a new Momo Monte Carlo 350mm from Amazon. It measured 13.5” top to bottom and the top grip measured 3 3/4” circumference. This wheel was also hard as a rock. Both wheels said made in Italy and showed D35 on the back for 350mm. Are these Chinese knock offs? Is Pelican and others selling the same crap?  |

I'm confused. Why the hating on Momo?
Wheel to firm for personal preference? 350mm = 13.77". Wheel diameters seem within .25" of nominal which doesn't seem outrageous for a part that has a hand sewn leather covering. |

I’ve had 914’s since the 70’s and have owned both the Monte Carlo and a Tuner wheel. They were a lot thicker and softer back then. Either they changed there recipe or these are cheap knock offs. |
