    Whats the point in a flat bottomed wheel though?

    As soon as he turns it, its going to be hiiting his legs again isnt it!?

                Rota, you might be interested in the flat bottomed Mod88 Momo wheel. I've got one atm and am looking to replace it soon, great for alittle extra leg room.
                It's a Montecarlo. I've had one of the normal leather ones with red stiching for about 15 years.

                  I have one of Rorges old momo wheels on the VT at the moment( spliky suede wheel is still safe and sound in the box) with an autotechnica boss (as used in the V8brutes series) it fits fine..

                      Make me a serious offer and it could be on your car.

                      No boss kit, just the wheel and generic MOMO centre. Wheel is two years old and in excellent condition.

                      I went back up to a 320mm MOMO "Tuner" wheel but might be going back down to 300mm.
                      If you dig a hole and it is in the wrong place, digging it deeper isn't going to help.

                        +1 for me - flat bottom just makes getting in and out easier without having to use a quick release which generally moves the wheel too far out.

                          RPM Sportline Suede 350mm. I just bought one, by far the best wheel I have ever used for track work.

                          Comparing with:
                          *Momo Corse leather
                          *Momo Prototipo leather
                          *Momo Porsche Cup dished suede

                          The worst was the dished Momo Porsche wheel. Way too thin.
                          Rust is lighter than carbon fibre.

                            Got very similar, but it really needs gloves which is not the best for daily stuff.

                              those quick releases are not road legal tho..

                              I've got a Spa quick release which i never got to fit because of this.

                                I have a sportline suede in the gemini (have had since 2003) and it's still great...
