I've got a Sparco wheel fitted to mine - simply buy a Mountney M range wheelboss, and the chosen wheel ( got mine from demontweeks)
Alcantara is the way forward ;)

Pretty much all 6 stud steering wheels fit any 6 stud boss in my experience. Does it have to be a Mini Specialist you get it from? Just google alcantara wheel and you will get loads of styles/results.
Im going for an OMP one myself

I have a boss for sale. I've opted for a snap off boss so it isn't needed now.
PM me for more details.

Show us your steering wheel and we will show you a suitable boss for it!.
Ive got a Sparco suede one but you should be aware the suede wears away and I dont drive mine very often either!!

I was contemplating a suede Sparco 300 wheel, but I reckon I'm going to go for a 280mm Momo Team instead :thumbsup

Mine is a 330mm wheel and feels just right, a smaller wheel imo would make driving 'interesting' to say the least

Its not the suede wearing away which is the problem stu... when your hands get sweaty it gums up the material, if you wear gloves, or use a cover they last for ages!
