albundy68 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 My TRD wheel arrived and was plonked on my desk at work this morn, all the way from the land of the rising sun!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!! needless to say i spent a good five minutes sat at my desk making car noises, only to prompt a massive round of questions enquiring what im doing buying steering wheels when ive still got 10 months of driving bann left... anyhow, i was just wondering how many other supe owners out there have been daft enough to spend silly ammounts of cash on a TRD steering wheel??? cummon, own up!!!

livvy Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 My wife spent a reasonable amount on mine and delights in telling everyone how much it was whenever the subject comes up. I didn't think the price was too bad - got it from Envy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 How much are these, are they all the same price? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy68 Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 is yours a TRD livvy??? the TRD wheels are £500 from envy, and £425 i think from Miami Rice, not sure how much they are from Paul W, but im sure he could tell you. I sourced mine myself, and risked getting skammed/getting seized in customs to save a few quid. - And my luck was in!!! (for once!!!)

I thought £500 was a very good price - i was trying to find a replacement sporty steering wheel with airbag for another car about 3 years ago and they were few and far between and all over £550. Must get around to painting my dash! http://www.indidist.co.uk/images/images/livvy4.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was paid for by the wife so very cheap indeed:p Don't know of anyone else with one - that's the good thing about expensive "cosmetic" mod's - further down people's lists so more exclusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albundy68 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Share Posted April 22, 2004 well i could... but then gaz and paul might tell me off!!! found it on ebay!!! off a guy in japan. Gotta say though, its a risky business, no guarentee its gonna turn up ok, or turn up at all, and the fact that the airbag inflator contains a small ammount explosive could get you in some serious s*it when it goes through customs. So i was chuffed when mine slip'd through!!! cost me £300 so a decent saving, but still an insane ammount of money for a steering wheel... theres a blue one on ebay at the moment... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33704&item=2473403313&ssPageName=STRK:MEBWA:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
