QUOTE(Mugs914 @ Mar 4 2009, 10:44 AM)  Hey Slider, nice wheel!! The wheel is a MOMO Montecarlo. And I thought I was the only guy that liked those F-1 Concept centers! Maybe a little blingy, but still pretty cool! Mugs.. Thanks i thought it was a Monte Carlo but it was stamped v35 on the back and i couldnt find much info on it. |

I have a fitti a nardi and a momo all similiar in size except I think it's the nardi that is fatter than the other two. I have never had the screws come loose but I also have worked a lot with allen wrench, bristols and torx screws, I tap the wrench or socket if thats what I have before I start to jar them a little if I expect them to be tight or stuck. I also tap them when I am ending the tightening sequence. I also NEVER use a worn wrench, you can file or sand the tip of the wrench back to get a new end to use. I also try to use ss screws if I can get them. My preference is the threespoke, it gives me more control when the wheel is turned and helps keep it from getting loose in my grip. I also like the padded third spoke for that reason. I don't like white threads or the ones that are not flush with the surface, it's just a little too much bling for me. I think subtle looks more expensive. It's a delicate balance on the dish though. If you want a quick disconnect it will take a flatter wheel to make up for the added heigth of the adapter. Too close and your hand will hit the turnsignal stalk. A little wax over the years seems to me to help the seam thread hold up better. I did make a mistake once when I used deerskin on a grant foam wheel. The deerskin was nice but too thin and wore through within a few years. Because it was so soft it was easy to work with though. Pigskin is the best for me, it's very tough and pretty thin but very durable. On my 4x4 stuff I use grant foam and polished ss three spoke wheels with a aftermarket leather cover. The spokes don't have the extra padded protection though.
Just my ideas. I do like to see everybodys wheels though they are all really nice. |

Looks nice in pictures......... Group: Members Posts: 5,275 Joined: 5-March 04 From: Colorado Member No.: 1,753 Region Association: None |
Not a proto, but it's a MOMO and I love it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
It has some fancy triangle pad for the center of it too, but I never put it on. It's also got little round knobs on the back for your fingers. I wish i never lost those sunglasses though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i128.photobucket.com-1753-1274208121.1.jpg) |

I surfed ebay for quite awhile and found some really nice wheels and adapters a few years ago. You gotta know what you want and the numbers of the different adapters though.

Great to see the the different options. My current wheel is some sort of old RaceMark that seems to be too small a diameter. So what are the most suitable/prefered diameters to consider?
