I have got rid of my Nardi Torino steering wheel so I need to get new wheel. Since getting rid of it I have found out that Nardi use an uncommon PCD (6 x 74) whereas most other use 6x70, is that correct?

I would like a 350mm deep dish suede wheel but what boss do I need?

Any suggestions?

Yeah Craig! :lol:


I was going ask him if he wanted my old boss but PM'd him instead.

IL I thought you were going to give me some useful info there.

Confused the crap out of me too. Thought your account had been hacked :lol:

Yes, 6x70 is the common PCD for aftermarket wheels.

Any recommendation for a decent boss? nothing too expensive preferably. Are there any issues with quick release?

A 2nd hand cheapie? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/momo-boss-kit ... 3a83b234d3

I take it with quick release things you have to have a boss in the first place then the quick release acts as a kind of sandwich plate? :?

There are a lot of copies on ebay, but I wouldn't bet on them lasting too long, especially with how you should be driving with it. Maybe hold out for a second hand Lifeline one. If you don't want to spend big bucks, just stick with a Momo jobbie.

Or that one :lol:

That's right yes... Unless you go weld-on.

Would I be better off with a solid cylinder type boss (like I have at the moment) like this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Steering-whee ... 2a21e4f376

Sorry I have never bought a wheel or boss before.

I prefer the idea of going for a solid cast aluminium job rather than a folded steel.

However I fancied a more solid setup... Especially being as I'm running no PAS. I assume you are too?...
