Any body tried this wheel?

Any body tried one of these? they are on Ebay for $46 shipped. Almost disposable at that price. I really like the suede but...

Here is the discription (verbatim), obviously aimed at the rice crowd



"100% Brand New in Box, it never been tried on or used.

Steering Wheel is made by light-weight aluminum frame with Suede for better grip

The Steering Wheel measures 13" (diameter), it shortens the turning distance

It will fit on hub adaptor with 6 x 2 3/4" hole pattern

Let's give your car have a racing look"

Looks cool. You will need an steering wheel adapter to fit it into the steering wheel shaft.

I just got this one on Ebay for $39. Seude D wheel that fits a MOMO hub. Best view of my guages of any wheel I've had. I never heard of the maker but it is made in Italy by the guy who made wheels for Ferarri. I love it, although the car is still in winter storage, so I haven't done any driving with it yet.
I've gotten three different wheels cheap on Ebay that were listed as boat wheels. They've all been fine, and a fraction of the Momo, Sparco prices. Like you said, at that price, what the heck...

It was a new wheel still in the box (and has a nice red draw-string bag). I don't recall that he had more but I'll see what I can find out. It was advertised as a "Bolide" so you could try an Ebay search for that. The maker is actually Volanti. The D shape makes for plenty of clearance for entry.

I just checked that seller, and he doesn't show any other wheels for sale.
There were plenty similar wheels like the one you showed on Ebay when I was looking.
