Momo wheel

NeishaXR8_347 · 08-11-2006, 06:11 PM

Hey all im curious to know where i can find a blue momo steering wheel to match the S2 xr8 blue, im looking for the one mostly black but has blue pads on it. Im getting the shifter soon and would like it to match.

do you mean the sky blue or metallic blue?

the only momo wheels that are sorta readily available, are the metallic blue ones with the blue grips on Ebay. occasionally there are the lighter blue ones floating around which look the same.

JeffAU1 · 08-11-2006, 06:21 PM

Here is the metallic blue one

I reckon the Metallic blue would be the closest you would get to be honest. The Sky Blue is too light in colour to match the cluster.

JC · 08-11-2006, 06:53 PM

There are only 2 blues.

The one above is metallic blue (the picture doesn't do it justice, it does match the S2 cluster).

The other is know as the T series blue and is a very bright blue like this:

NeishaXR8_347 · 08-11-2006, 07:23 PM

So the metalic blue one will match the little blue and silver checkers?

NeishaXR8_347 · 08-11-2006, 07:30 PM

Which will match this?

You should check your shifter aswell, because you want the wheel to match the shifter, it would look funny if you had a sky blue wheel and met blue shifter, as far as I'm aware the shifter only came in met blue, so you should go for that one.

galaxy xr8 · 08-11-2006, 07:32 PM

I didn't see your other post with the shifter but it look's like sky blue, so I could be wrong???.

I'd be guessing the sky blue one.

If you want a different colour on wheel you can get them recovered by a trimmer in any colour you like

NeishaXR8_347 · 08-11-2006, 07:44 PM

there is a guy on ebay i have spoken to and he is sending me a pic sometime tonight or tomorrow and ive been told its all black leather but is a bulky wheel like the gtp's have, it has a silver aluminium insert in it which is silver and he said it comes out, so ill just get that one and paint or powder coat it the same colour as the shifter and it will look the goods i think. the wheel is $200.

Ill post up a pic of it when i get it.

It will be this one most likely

NeishaXR8_347 · 08-11-2006, 08:12 PM

It maybe that one, but its a differant guy, when i spoke to him he said the only ones he has listed are the ba-bf ones and is listing the au ones tomorrow. So now im waiting for a pic.

Even if its the one that JeffAU1 has found it will look good once i paint the little silver things blue to match the shifter.

NeishaXR8_347 · 08-11-2006, 08:13 PM

Thanks for all the fast replys guys.

That's the one I have on the XR now - is easily the most comfortable wheel ever built for a falcon.

99XR6 · 08-11-2006, 10:56 PM

JC, is that interior pic of your XR8?

if so man it looks sweet with the silver around the gauges and the centr of the dash.

Fully agree with JC's comments.

Here's a pic of mine bought off ebay...

It's the same one as in Ronwest's picture. Zhodak also has one (I fitted it tonight). Got it from RatGlobal on ebay. They also do a black/grey/blue (or red) one (the silver inserts from the black one are blue/red), but the black/silver is the pick of the bunch. No pics of it in my car, but here's one from ebay (it's exactly the same as mine):

99XR6 - yep, that's my interior, but now has the black wheel with silver inserts - the blue momo is in the wagon. The silver dash radio surround is awful. It's a berg designs job and is trying very hard to be brushed aluminium. But it's better than the light grey plastic that was there, and I just colour coded the cluster etc to match the aluminium look. It looks better in the photos than in real life though. Here's a close up of the radio surround:

For anyone interested, bayford parts have one of the NU/DU woodgrain wheels on ebay for $195.

NeishaXR8_347 · 09-11-2006, 07:54 AM

I think i may just get one of those wheels aswell, they look good and arent to badly priced, im still waiting on some pics to be sent to me so ill wait a bit.

JC with the blue ones are they like the blue i need or differant, also if i want a blue one from ratglobal do i just ask them for a blue one?

Shaun.

SSVPom · 09-11-2006, 07:59 AM

RAT Global (Roman Auto Group) are the Momo importers for Australia, and also have supplied Ford and various other manufacturers with the 'sports' steering wheels and pedal sets straight out of the factory, as dealer fit options, and still do all the BA/BF Momo kit for Ford today.

Hope that helps.....

NeishaXR8_347 · 09-11-2006, 07:51 PM

Hey for those who have got a wheel from RatGlobal how do i go about getting a blue/black one because they only advertise the silver ones???

try their website which has an online store - www.autotek.com.au

LG · 09-11-2006, 07:58 PM

Call them up, and go down to their shop. They are pretty much the exact same prices man, and you pick it up on the day.

Much less hassle.

I've been down to their place, quite a few times.

NeishaXR8_347 · 09-11-2006, 10:25 PM

Hey LG and B2TF thanks for that i didnt know they had a store, but now i know ill just go there myself and choose the one i like.
