    I'm kind of excited about finding this wheel on eBay out of Japan. I have no idea what car it came off of, but it sure looks familiar. :)

    I wanted something other than the plain stock wheel, but didn't want to go to a full aftermarket wheel. Most of the aftermarket wheels look very aftermarket to me. This one looks stock but has the "tits and hips" on the wheel.

    It's going to need a bit of refinishing, but no more than what my stock wheel needs.

    That Momo steering wheel was available in Momo's tuning line in the late '80s. I bought this exact model for my 1986 Mustang GT in 1989, so that wheel could be 25 years old at this point. I don't recall what Momo's name for that style was, but with a few hours of digging in my garage, I could probably find my original receipt. The center pad comes out revealing a 3 spoke aluminum wheel beneath it, sort of like the Monte Carlo.

    will this bolt right on a 348 (or 355?) or will it require an adapter?

    There are ways around the airbag light! (Including some that leave the bulb "operating correctly" with no airbag fitted to the car! ;) )




    (And yes I am aware that 348's do not have airbags - Later 355's do though! :) )

    Yeah, I'm not sure about the "cut-outs" for the hands TBH - I prefer the OEM 348 steering wheel without the cut-outs.

    And here it is installed. It's exactly the same as the stock wheel, but has the tits and hips. The original stock center piece snaps right on it. It was $225 delivered from Japan.
