Addymk2 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) 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 james Edited April 27, 2013 by jimmymac101 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patches Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) this? by the way all the wheels you posted are the same (look at the offset of the holes, all in the same place) Edited April 27, 2013 by Asad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 thats the horror video ive seen before! james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletSr? Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Were the cj performance ones flimsy? or were they strong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 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!

Glanza-Ben Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Don't buy a cheap one mate! Seen a few mates ruin cheap eBay ones one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The cjp ones were good like I say, few people on here have had them with no issues, not sure where he got them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Critic Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Just save up and buy a propa one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Barnes Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
