Tips Posted 9August, 2019 Report Share Posted 9August, 2019 As per title looking for a good condition momo to suit my 1980 SC. My original factory leather has started to perish from sweat and sun, and thought I would ask in case someone is sitting on something they may consider or hadn’t thought to move on. Thinking would like to go period correct rather than new if a good condition wheel is available. Either Black or silver works, more about condition. I’m thinking a 380 is a better wheel size wise than a 350. Also require a correct MOMO Boss/hub if anyone has one for sale. sydney based but freight can be considered. show me what you’ve got 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 9August, 2019 Report Share Posted 9August, 2019 Perhaps getting your original wheel recovered is an option, even double wrapped for a thicker grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBRUT Posted 9August, 2019 Report Share Posted 9August, 2019 I’ll likely get slammed for this but I think Prototipo’s have been done to death. There are lots of other period correct options out there from Momo and other brands. Zelrik911, Oldskl60, LeeM and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBRUT Posted 10August, 2019 Report Share Posted 10August, 2019 Ps. But I respect that it’s your car and your wheel choice. Pps. And I shouldn’t post before at least 2 coffees... Tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thought and had crossed my mind to have done whilst I had another wheel fitted. I don’t find the grip too small just the fact the 10-2 position is tacky due to the leather deteriorating. 4 hours ago, OBRUT said: I’ll likely get slammed for this but I think Prototipo’s have been done to death.

Agree and I looked at a couple of different options and doesn’t have to be a Prototipo so I have updated the heading so I’m not limiting the search.

Rob H Posted 10August, 2019 Report Share Posted 10August, 2019 I have this 360 Momo with correct boss for a 3.2 Carrera, so should fit yours too. It was a dramatic improvement over the standard 4 spoke large diameter wheel. Sadly I don't have a 3.2 Carrera any more, so no further use.

Think they're $90 or something at the moment and have the same PCD, so it will bolt straight on to a Momo boss You can also lose the horrid horn button and fit a Momo or similar as they're the same size. https://www.autobarn.com.au/saas-gt-suede-steering-wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBRUT Posted 12August, 2019 Report Share Posted 12August, 2019 There is a couple of good wheel sellers on insta. Momo PD’s look good on eighties 911’s. Tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob H Posted 12August, 2019 Report Share Posted 12August, 2019 You probably all know this, but the standard large diameter 4 spoke wheel is offset such that when driving straight, it is jacked up to clear your knees. When turned 180 degrees, the wheel is at its lowest which can literally be a drag on your knees. So when fitting an accessory wheel, especially of a smaller diameter, part of the speedo is obscured, so most people rotate the speedo around so you can keep your drivers licence a bit longer. You tend to get used to the smaller wheel and the extra effort required, enjoying a better overall steering experience, in my opinion.

ruby82sc Posted 16August, 2019 Report Share Posted 16August, 2019 Momo mod 07's look good on an older car and I find the deep dish gives a comfortable driving position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
