steering wheel £20 with TRD centre

Recommended Posts

When I posted a pic of my TuRD steering wheel which is the same as that but with Tiptronic buttons and a TRD hooter button badge stuck the middle, there was a gaggle of .....

 

"Where did you get that mate"?

 

Now I give the heads up there's a bucketfull going for a song, I am an arse.

 

:looney: :hang: ;)

 

Compare the pics below with a TRD wheel and ask yourself if it is worth shelling out £1,500ish more because the badge was glued on in the Toyota factory. :think:

That's not a TRD wheel, isn't even close.

 

It is however the same as the VVTi wheel....... as I have one ;)

 

Edit: The one you have just posted up, the one you said you have, is a celica wheel with a TRD badge. I have one of those too ;)

 

In fact, just to show both side by side....

Here's a 'real one', without the Tetly perforations, but TRD wheels come in both flavours, in fact the Lexus wheel is without the perforations.

Yet I can't justify a months wages more for something that is almost the same.

 

Maybe I am the only Supra owner without money to burn :shrug:

Yeah I'm the same.

 

In saying that, I have honestly gone off the look of the TRD. I'm very happy with my Celica wheel, I was going to sell my IS200 one on but I've decided to keep it as a spare :)

I too prefer the look of mine compared to a 'real one' because I don't like shiny and bright things in my line of sight.

 

Although I may get it re-covered to make it thicker wristed once I have more important Suprastuff finished.

edited your thread title for you.

 

Erm, the thread subject steering wheel(s) on ebay didn't have any centre(s) at all. :think:

 

But the thread has been informative and entertaining in a Supranurd sort of way, and Scott and I are not bickering. :)

 

All's well that ends well. :thumbs:

The genuine TRD wheels are expensive but there were 2 on ebay very recently and both looked in very good conditon for under £600 each ;)
