mr veilside Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I was wondering the same thing as i also saw this for sale on ebay. Its hard to tell on the quality as the pics are so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray007 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 im thinking of buying it but have no idea how it will turn out, i dont know if £200 is worth the risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I don't think it is. I have been askijng him questions and they won't supply bigger pictures. There is one, they listed it for £600 originally and I have been watching it get relisted at a lower price each time. I offered £250 a while ago and they said the best offer so far was £280 and wouldn't budge....now its £200. Plus when you ask questions they say they are selling it for a mate so will have to find out and get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It doesn't come with an airbag so you may aswell look for a genuine wheel from a company like Momo, at least you know what you're getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I asked him if it was for sale on here because those exact pictures have been on here a few months back, and the other forum. He said no. You can't really tell from the pictures if it is a good replica. I would guess it is based on an on MR2 Wheel, but then again that had an airbag. Maybe it is an airbag but had no wires due to the metal ring hitting you in the face if it went off. I was going to buy it, but might aswell get a momo Edited March 8, 2010 by jackso11 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 If you never had an airbag, then cool, but if you have one to loose it in such a fast car is pure madness. The TRD hits you a very subtle slap in the face when it goes off, wont burst your spleen and leave a nice sherbet dip flavour on your lips. It rips in a V shape and unlike many other cars airbags you dont get a hard cover assulting you. They look darn nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It is Niz he tried to sell it to me on facebook today guys, doesnt look too bad but if you could get someone near him to check it out first , said he also had a real one but it needs a refurb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Well thats me out then. I specifically asked him if he was Niz from on the supra forums and he said it had never been on any supra forums and was a one off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It's our Niz, gawd bless him I'd suggest looking at it close up before buying;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I don't think it is. I have been askijng him questions and they won't supply bigger pictures. If the brain dead idiot won't supply larger pictures I would just forget it, inundate him with ridiculous offers.

swandip Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Any one know if the face lift steering wheel fits onto the pre face lift with out any other part. Obviously no air bag involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Is he selling car parts from a corner shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It looks good in the pictures, but what is the point of buying a non-airbag steering wheel for £200. A momo wheel that costs £150 will be far superior quality. In my mind a fake/replica of any wheel is worth a max of £50-£60, nowhere near £200. Did the original TRD wheels have red stitching?

jim Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 In my mind a fake/replica of any wheel is worth a max of £50-£60, nowhere near £200. A bit of sense ^ Anyone paying £200+ for essentially a (fake) trd centre cap on a wheel that probably cost a few quid to make in the Far East needs their head looked at imo.

devan Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Id like to get a TRD wheel to match my TRD knob, but id only really pay £80 max for fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
