I am more than a little shocked how bad they really are

On the bright side, if you headbutt the steering wheel in a crash the steering wheel will mould to your face shape. Thats a nice souvineer lol.Just saw this on facebook about 15 mins ago and thought it was hilarous.... but also scary at the same time! Imagine being in a crash with one of those wheels
So glad I have a genuine OMP steering wheel.
It would actully be better in a crash as it will move out the way!Just saw this on facebook about 15 mins ago and thought it was hilarous.... but also scary at the same time! Imagine being in a crash with one of those wheels
Tbh iv use these exact wheels for the last two years with no problems, only once at nurburgring when my power steering belt came off mid drift it bent a little lol.
I've been in one recently rememberImagine been in a crash in a car with no airbags with seatbelts setup for airbags
I didn't mash my face into my genuine MOMO wheel thanks to having both hands on the wheel and it being 60mm closer to me (driftworks removable boss) so my arms were in a better crash position.
Plus my head fitted in the sunroof gap quite nicely which probably also helped lol
Actully, just watched the vid, lol that's defo not the same as the one iv been using!
They should do the same thing for Fake Brides, etc.
Sorry dude, wasn't thinkingI've been in one recently remember

The reason I say it is, well, tbh I was told by a mechanic friend of mine that airbag + seat pre-tensioners work together to allow the driver to "meet the airbag" and as such allowed a little movement forward. If it's not the case I'll stand corrected.
I'd like to see more comparison stuff of all kinds of things on eBay..... maybe we should start a whole extra comparison website!
Sounds sensible enough, airbags are dangerous things and if the seatbelt wasn't tensioned carefully it could damage more of youSorry dude, wasn't thinking

Not a bad idea, we have already tested an Ebay Z32 MAF and proved it was shite so why not other critical items
Crazy that video!
In normal use I suspect most people will be ok with them... but it's not normal use where it matters.
If something goes wrong - like power steering failure as an exampleor having a crash and bracing yourself with the wheel (this is what most people do) it'd be pretty bad if the wheel failed - could cause a serious issue.
Are there no standards for steering wheels? Like strength requirements etc? If not, there should be for sure. I know what I'd buy if I wanted to replace my S15 wheel... and I'd be giving that bearded fellow a shout for one of his finest wheels
If that was the case it would impale you on the hub/column, not great tbh dude.
Couldn't believe my eyes, just had to put it here. Totally agree with Alex, it should be done for everything fake. Kudos to DW!
I am sure they havent done it JUST as a safety thing
Agreed, and to be fair I wasn't implying they did. The safety hadn't really fussed me, the cheap crap nature of the product did
It also means that if you have one and haven't bent it yet, then you're not gangster enough
Maybe we should start up an 'eBay eXperience' part of the forum for those who have had good/bad experience with ebay products.....Not a bad idea, we have already tested an Ebay Z32 MAF and proved it was shite so why not other critical items
Gangsta leeeeaaaan
I actually think we might be onto a winner here testing eBay products...not just for cars but other things also
