I am also trying to find a nice steering wheel to put in my car what different types have people used and will it be hard to get a boss kit for most wheels?

if u get one from like supercheap or anywhere like that u should be able to get a boss kit easy. i did. oh and i got my steering wheel when it was 20% sale and they scanned the wrong barcode so i got it for less than half price :)

but i think i was a super fancy one now so people r like "damn ur steering wheel is fancy"

Ive got a 12inch Leather SAAS wheel. U cant get anything that small anymore. Think the smallest is like 13.5inch.

Are the boss kits the same for each model mini or do they change..... the kit it self i would gather wpuld be different due to different mounting holes

Autotecnica make boss kits for the mini, about $79 at supercheap, less on ebay, they are multi drilled to enable fitment of most of the popular makes of wheels.

Autotecnica is the only brand of wheels that my local Supercheap sell, you will need to order the boss kit if you buy from there, they should be able to get in the wheel you want if they don't stock it.

My local REPCO has a nice one on display at the moment. It's a timber style wheel with the rivets through the timber. Looks great!! but i can't remember what brand it is.

Definately a must though!!!

I'd advise against Autotechnica brand wheel.
SAAS is a MUCH better build quality and still have a good range of styles.
One up on SAAS would have to be MOMO... and not all MOMO wheels are 'fully sik ricer boy' styles.

Obviously the price goes up a fair bit, but the quality difference is very very distinguishable.

True momo = $$$$ but they will last for ever and you get the momo center piece 8)

yes well momo is big $ is anything...... SAAS have been around for a long time and are of good standard. it just comes down to finding the wheel that set my interior off...... i like the idea of a bit of silver in the wheel just to break up the black a bit.

I've got a pommy 1275 GT wheel on mine....
Leather wrapped, alloy spokes.. fantastic...

I used to have one of those Momo "F1" style (you know, with the flat bottom ?) - made the car twice as hard to drive....

Big wheel = Easy to drive smooth....
