Steering Wheel Opinions

I have an opportunity to purchase an older Momo wood wheel and a newer leather Abarth wheel, both 370mm. The wood one looks like this:


The other is an Abarth similar to this one posted here by Pelcanite 303462


Which should I go for?

I vote for the Abarth. More purposeful looking, IMO.

Another vote for the Abarth. What horn button would you use with the wood wheel?

I would go for the leather one simply because I think the wood wheels belong in a more classic car (ie., 356, etc).

Man, I really like that wood wheel! I think the leather one would look better in your car though.
