No, but I recall seeing a video the other day that compared an ebay "Nardi style deep wheel" with an actual Nardi steering wheel.

Basically, the ebay one was easily able to be bent by hand, the Nardi not so.

I'll try and track down the video.

Personally, for something as important as steering, I would be getting a thing of known quality.

Couple of random dishy wheels from proper companies.

to add:
There's probably plenty of good ebay ones, but the problem is, how can you tell what's a weel made wheel, and what's paitned tinfoil?

I had a fake Momo one in my Escort, was good, can't tell you which seller I got it off though, so this post is completely irrelevant.

My only complaint was the yellow stripe was like 1 or 2mm out. gave me so much grief for 3 months when I thought it was the whole steering wheels been outa whack.

Thanks all, interesting stuff... Looks like there is even el cheapo copies of the el cheapo brands... Will go the genuine original OMP copy on Russell recommendation I reckon.

Ok so I got this one...branded OMP one would think it's a copy....was on special for $66.50 posted.

Really surprised by the quality and fit, gave it a good tug and it deflected about the same amount as the genuine MOMO wheel I had.

Now I can reach the steering wheel, should make the racing a bit easier on the weekend.
