Help me pick a steering wheel.

Well, my 94Z has a non leather steering wheel and it started to rot and crumble a few years ago. I put a wheelskin on it and now the wheelskin is flaking apart. So I have had it, I need a new wheel. Turns out my airbag is faulty also, in my recent wreck they did not go off and it figures GM said there is nothing wrong. Well a new wheel with an airbag is rediculously priced, so is a used one. So screw it, I am going with a non airbag wheel. I have a rollcage and 5 point harness anyway, and am going to a tubular K frame and manual rack shortly(as soon as I feel like doing it). I only have 1 1/2 year old pics of the interior so I will describe it. I have and all black TA interior, Black TA doors, black wolf 6pt cage, Red Sparco Torinos and black RCI 5pt harness. I have a black carpet that goes in as soon as I get off my rear and weld in the cage. The flame red carpet in it now has turned maroon with age. So only the seats will be red, I want to balance it with a bit of red in the wheel, so I am leaning to the one with the small red strip at the top.

edit: I narrowed it to 2

I went with a Sparco "Mugello" It is 13" across and is slightly "D" shaped. It has a suede and leather finish that is awesome. The spokes are dark red anodized and looks great. About $210 thru Cardomain if I remember correctly. Very happy with it.

I want a new steering wheel also. I like the last one, but it sounds like you got a red/black thing going so I would pick the Lap3 one. They all look sweet though compared to stock.

Personally I like the look of the one I had in my Turbo TA:

Momo Fighter, I love that wheel. Unfortunately they discontinued the carbon fiber version so it got marked of my list. I'm gonna go with Sparco since I have their seats.

Good eye man..I forgot to put that in my post. It is indeed a MoMo fighter wood wheel.

The color of the one on the right is much better - although the buttons are kind of, "iffy." (Sorry - all I can picture is Paul Walker and Jesse [painted nails and all] reaching over with their thumb and mashing the "Nawwss" every five seconds...)

The one on the left is a little too colorful for my personal tastes.

There's my opinions, hope it helped.
