It's VERY hard to top the infamous Nardi wheel, that ugly Sparco doesn't even come close. Btw, don't get suede. It wears horrible. Most of it usually isn't even real suede, it's fake. Add that to constant friction, oils from your skin, and sunlight, and you have a bad looking expensive wheel after a few months.

momo or nardi would be the best to go with.

suede wheels are for drivers who use gloves. stick with leather.

Nardi deep cone 350.

Don't buy the 330. It's too small.

SO sexy.

Meh!

I used a 330 and it felt like everything was too small.

Damn having big negro hands.

Hub + quick release + 30mm spacer + 350 deep cone. UNNNNFFFF.

I fill my seat with cum every time I drive.

Agreed, and that sparco wheel at the top, doesnt even contend with the hottness of the Nardi.

I have a suede sparco on my car. I have had it for months and it looks and feels great to me. It is not fading or falling apart because I take care of my stuff. I keep a pair of gloves in the car in case my hands are dirty for some reason, but I like my Sparco. I have never had a Nardi nor used or seen one in person so I can't chime in on that. But if you are a grease bum and typically have crap on your hands then stay away from suede.

I can only ring in on what I know...

The Nardi is a great looking wheel. Classic and Modern at once. I don't particularly care for the spoke positions though. I prefer the left and right spokes to fall just under my hands at the standard driving position. But it sure looks purty....

It has nothing to do with being a greasy bum.

We all have oil in our skin. It will excrete from our palms/fingers and go into the suede which will cause it to matte.

So unless it's being used by ashy larry, the gloves should always be used.

And also a wire brush helps bring it back to life.

Get the Nardi.

Nardi > Sparco wheels x100

btw, my Nardi Classic 360mm in valour/ suede turned to s*** in like 4-5 months of daily driving. worst mistake ever to get suede as a daily driven wheel. If I could do it all again, I'd get leather.
