Have been looking all over for the “right” steering wheel for the Nova. I was looking for something with a flat bottom (but not too crazy) that fit the look of the interior. Looked at a bunch of Momo wheels, Sparco wheels, and NRG wheels. The wheel I like best is a Quark model that Momo makes.
I really like the look of this wheel... pretty stealthy, flat bottom (but not too crazy) and nice thickness. Problem is that the wheel is made out of polyurethane with leather inserts. I wasn’t liking the feel of the polyurethane on this wheel, which is a huge deal for me since the steering wheel is your most direct connection to the car that you’re constantly in contact with.
Recently, someone here on the forum asked me about the seats I’m using for my Nova. I forwarded the link to the web site for the craftsman (Marek) that did my seats. I noticed that he had a new website that had a gallery of a bunch of his work/projects and I noticed that he recovers steering wheels. So, I reached out to Marek and discussed what I was looking for. Marek suggested we buy the Momo wheel and recover it in the same leather that he used to cover my seats. He also said he could add a stripe at the 12 o’clock position, and could stitch it together using the same red thread he used on my seats. He finished the project this week and the wheel is currently in transit to me, but he shared a couple of pictures with me. I can’t wait to get it and see/feel it in person. Let me know what you think. I’ve also included a picture of my seats as a reminder.
