Review on πŸ”˜ MOMO Black Prototipo PRO35BK2B 350mm Steering Wheel with Leather Grip by Frankie Wesley

Momo prototype. it's like a car decoration

I just installed Momo Prototipo yesterday and haven't had a chance to drive it so I can't comment. However, here are some thoughts on the quality of the wheel and the complexity/ease of installation. I like the aesthetic qualities of this bike. The design is a simple three spoke. The wheel is flat, no basin. The horn button is small and simple, but ultimately serves the purpose. The "Prototipo" engraving is appropriate and not intrusive. The leather is expertly wrapped around the wheel. You can see the stitching on the back of the wheel where the leather is glued, but the glue is smooth and clean. You can tell it's hand-sewn because the seams aren't quite straight. This might be a problem for some, but for me it's normal. Finally, the Momo steering wheel and steering hub combo is noticeably lighter than my standard steering wheel. Installation was extremely easy as I don't have an airbag in my 1987 BMW e28 535is. Installation took 10-15 minutes. I just turned the wheels straight. I marked the forward position on the steering shaft with a pen and then aligned the steering hub, which has a position mark that says 'up'. It then only required 6 Allen bolts to secure the wheel to the hub to a torque of 7Nm and then tighten the steering column spindle nut to secure the hub to the steering column axle. Finally I connected a black wire from the steering hub to the back of the horn and there is a brass spring that touches the hub and serves as ground. Presto and done!

Pros
  • Diameter 350 mm (13.8 inches) measured outside to outside
