I dunno about you but I get paranoid about knocked off parts, the 'suede' will probably turn to bubble gum in 3 weeks I'd end up bending the wheel when I get a bit... Forceful on a hoon :-P

[jimmymac101]

Thats my worry, thats why ive put up this thread, i cant seem to find a used one for a good price :/

The third link one has sold 365 of them so i dont know

The price of a good branded wheel is more than i'd like to pay as well so im also interested to hear about anyone who's got one.

I cant imagine much could go wrong... there's got to be at least one out there thats really good quality

this?

by the way all the wheels you posted are the same (look at the offset of the holes, all in the same place)

i say if you cant afford a legit one leave the standard one on, there are crowds of people who will vouch for the fakes but at end of the day....your car...your safety...imo

I bought a CJ performance one when he was trading, aside from the fact the boss was a cheap

One and not a HKB as described it seems fine, suede has worn a bit though in a few months

[StarletSr?]

Were the cj performance ones flimsy? or were they strong?

[dan106]

It took my suede one a year of daily usage, and all that happened was it turned into leather haha, I've had an accident with it too, bent slightly, but not even noticeable while driving.

If you did have a front end impact, surely the steering wheel bending will take the impact and bend rather than snapping your wrists? eBay steering saved a mates wrists when someone pulled out in front of his scoob!

After watching that video I would say you would be stupid to buy a eBay special, I paid 15 quid for my omp wheel locally and its solid and don't bend or flex at all, a steering wheel needs to be safe and solid not flimsy and bend every time you lean on it

Were the cj performance ones flimsy? or were they strong?

I've rocked on it mate and seems solid, obviously not like they did in the vid as I did t want to do any damage but I gave it a good rock back and forth and seems completely solid, one

Of the more decent products from them lol

[Liam_D]

Don't buy a cheap one mate! Seen a few mates ruin cheap eBay ones one.

The cjp ones were good like I say, few people on here have had them with no issues, not sure where he got them?

[Critic]

Just save up and buy a propa one.

I bought a rep second hand and it does the job just fine, tried bending it and it feels strong so cant see a problem with it
