Fake Nardi wheel subjected to a minor pulling about whilst attached to the column, it bends - a lot
The end
They come in all different sizes dude, 330mm, 350mm, deep corn (dished), classic (flat), or we do the Personal range if you prefer....
Yup, OMP, Sparco, etc are all expensive too. The Personal range is more in keeping with the general market. Nardi is a special, almost designer brand, so commands a premium! At the end of the day, you do get what you pay for, and the Nardi and Personal wheels are fcking ace, loads better than anything else on the market.
They're not MUCH cheaper, they're a BIT cheaper and not a Nardi. It's just a 'nice' thing! People clamber over expensive, ****ed old worn out second hand Nardis so nice brand new ones make sense to me....
Can I just point out we have a 25% sale on Nardi and Personal at the moment??
No, you can't
Loving the video
Bon Some mountney /momo steering wheels are 50 quid, I know you've got you're discount on which is ace but at rrp that's £150 cheaper. I appreciate the quality is top but my point was more on the fact they won't all bend.
£70 for that wheel is a joke, as said I had a £25 quid eBay jobbie a few years ago and it held up fine in a pretty serious crash, I'm 18st
But I see the appeal of a nardi to someone who has the money to spend, my question was mainly could anyone recommend a deep dish wheel that's cheap, because I'm not a brand whore I just hate my current wheel.
Standard/genuine items aren't necessarily any better, aftermarket steering wheels are often 'easy' to bend if you have a bit of force behind you, even big name brands. Christ in my micra crash I bent the nissan standard steering wheel when bracing.
As for those OMP rep's get the 30 quid ones from a scottish seller on ebay (can't remember the fella), they are reasonably decent and quite strong.

When you say replica, do they carry OMP branding?
I think the point is being missed slightly here.
People get all excited about these cheap Nardi* copy wheels because they think it's a cheap way to get a Nardi* in the car, however....
a) they look COMPLETELY different
b) the quality is terrible
c) they're dangerous!
I KNOW you can get cheaper wheels that won't kill you, nobody ever said you can't!
*replace Nardi with your choice of brand, there are loads of crap ripoffs on Ebay.
Of course steering wheels bend when you crash, in the same way a car bends when you crash. We're not talking about when you crash, we're talking about when you drive down the road and OH LOOK the wheel is about to fall apart.

What he said^^^ and my point was more that although anything can bend in a crash, these will snap and end up with a jagged bit of wheel hub sticking out of your face if you crash, and slit wrists from the same bits of ruined cheese-metal.
sometimes branded wheels can go tits up too, this is/was my Mountney
seriously, who rivets a wheel together!?!? its now been replaced with a 1 piece Grant wheel
Can I just point out that Mountney isn't exactly premium quality either?! lol
my genuine omp wheel was about £133 from the omp website last xmas, and is the tits
even though the misses stumped up for it, i think its relatively cheap for an awesome wheel
not wanting to detract further but i have a mountney and whilst 'asthetically' it isnt as good/pretty as the nardi, its bloody strong
im 17st and wailed on mine trying to get the boss off and it didnt bend at all
ended up taking a big hammer to it all to get the boss off
I'm not a big ford fan but the RS500 is a legend, you cannot take away from it its Icon status and to suggest that its a chavvy car is like saying Kirsten Scott Thomas is a council estate slapper
yeah its true, but they have been arround for years so you would expect at least some quality! rather than being cobbled together with rivets
the grant ones lovely though
I'd doubt mountney would be dangerous if demon tweaks and other big companies sell them. Don't forget with any aftermarket part you can have issues.
I've seen pics of japspeed track rod ends stripped of their treads, and you could turn round and say "who in their right mind would make the threads out of ally?"
I think it's slightly more hit and miss with cheaper stuff. But generally you're ok. Didn't someone post up earlier that they had managed to bend their genuine nardi wheel?
In the eyes of many deep dish wheels are cool now and everyone wants a piece so theres bound to be unscrupulous people out there ready to take advantage by knocking out cheap shit immitations and its also a fact that people love bargains so will keep buying these shitty things fueling the fire moreJust look at the flood of fake brides , takata's and DV's etc .
To the people crying over the price of the Genuine Nardi's well thats the unfortunite price of quality im affraid , put a Nardi next to most other wheels and you will see for yourself how much better they look , how much better they feel and how much better they wear. The cheap deep dish wheels on Ebay are just that cheap shite and they look pretty damn awfull IMO.
As with everything in life you get what you pay for and if your prepared to spend £70 on a fake on Ebay why not dig a bit deeper and get a Genuine brand wheel ,Sparco , momo , personal , Omp or Nardi atleast you know its the real deal and will get a good looking wheel !
That Mountney is pretty shocking TBH
erm.....only just seen the pic of the mountney.........yeah thats pretty bad
