Help me decide on a steering wheel

I'm about to buy a new steering wheel for my car since the stock one is all crappy. I'm looking to spend about $150 on both wheel and hub, so far my choices are down to 2 different Tenzo steering wheels - the Tracer and the Turismo. To me they look similar, except that the Turismo is about $20 more and the lower part is flatter than the Tracer, which is a standard full circle shape. Nothing fancy - black all around with a silver (Tracer), or titanium (Turismo) center section.

Tracer: http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/ste...cer/index.html

Turismo: http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/ste...smo/index.html

Anyone have any alternatives in my price range? If not, which would you choose? Lowest prices I've found so far were on Ebay. The Tracer is about $95 shipped; the Turismo $115 shipped

That was the first brand I looked into but like you said the cost was up there, so I have to pass and get something a little less.

I'm sorry you must have mistaken me for someone who drives an FF family commuter car.

The Momo's are pretty nice, but they're past my budget considering I have to get a hub/adaptor thingy, plus Xmas is near which means I have to spend some of my $$ on... other people

Out of the 2 I'd pick Turismo.

But how about Momo Top Power? My cousin's EVO III has one on it and I was hooked on the wheel when driving it 3 years ago...

The price I found on eBay was $138 shipped.... It comes in 350mm only. Plus an adaptor it'll run over your budget. However for an original it's not that bad and I sincerely recommend it.
