that's why you wear stringback leather driving gloves when twirling a wooden steering wheel silly :roll:

I had a MotoLita leather (redone in vinyl) one in Ha-Ha but now run a SAAS Chinese made `fakewood' one.
Guess what- the wood one is more comfortable!
I just worry it will spear me in an accident- I bet there's no metal inside that rim except for the spokes.. :?

The timber wheels certainly look good but I was told they are illegal so I went with a chrome spoked wheel with black leather. I've been told that technically it's illegal too.

I think you will find neither are illegal on an early Mini with the old bus wheel, that wasn't padded anyhow. :lol:
