They are both fine examples of steering  wheel manufacturing, but I always thought  the MOMO 370mm was installed by the factory on the  GT5S. Mike?   I do like the Nardi collection.

Any way, I thought the high dollar Nardi wheels were considered "upgrades"
I though MOMO were just another replacement wheel, I mean I see them on
Rice burners all the time and I always remember Nardis on high dollar
imports.
Maybe it's just a perception thing?
