    Does anyone know where I can get the 360 challenge suede steering wheel. It is approx. 330mm and has a flat bottom. I've been told by a couple sources that it is an OMP wheel. Did a OMP/MOMO/SPARCO search and have found nothing. I was thinking maybe a dealer that races in the challege series would know. I attached a couple pics.

    Thanks,
    Brent

    As far as I know the 355C came with the factory wheel(airbag style). The owner could change to an aftermarket wheel if he wanted to. My '97 had its wheel changed to a removeable Sparco unit. You need to change the hub also. I checked the parts book on the 360C and there is wheel listed and the hub parts also. Wheel is part no.182543 and hub is 182537. Knowing Ferrari prices they are going to be outrageous. I would check with Sparco, OMP or Momo they would have a wheel that would be similar. I know you said you did a search but did check with those companies or just the site here? Regards, Vern

    Vern, thanks for the parts numbers. I did check some of wheel sites, momo, omp etc. Sparco had something similar, but not the same. Sad that the price might be so high as it is just a wheel made by one of these companies. Typically they go from $200-$350. I bet I have to add a zero to those figures to buy the wheel if Ferrari sells it!

    Yep, that's a Momo wheel, if you squint really hard you can see the "MOMO" name right under the very bottom screw on the hub of the wheel.

    I'd be willing to bet you could get one from T.Rutlands or maybe even your local dealer. Look in the latest issue of Forza magazine, there was a parts guy in there that had a whole bunch of good stuff for sale.

    Nope, that was my old 360 Challenge, and I could have sworn it was there.
    Maybe not.

    I have the exact same wheel on my F355. I bought it 2 years ago and it is an OMP wheel. It had the red stripe that I painted black and I took the OMP decal off. Momo and OMP have the same screw pattern. I don't know if that wheel is available anymore.

    I bought a spare steering wheel from this supplier for my 360 Challenge. Never ended up using it, so it'll be hanging on my wall as decoration one of these days. Don't remember the exact price, but I think it was around $300.

    To mount it on a regular 360 you'll need a 360 Challenge hub adaptor. And if you want to use a quick disconnect hub, then you'll have to make your own special hub adaptor, which I did for all our team cars.
