Red one looks a little ricey IMO...I think the other two would be tasteful.

BAH!!!! i know, i just want something a tid-bit different, the car is FAR from rice.. duno for some reason i think the red would set off the black interior

this would prob do the trick if i went with a red scheme:

I agree if you want some red then get that last one. The first one is too bizarre. (ricey)

i dont like, so i call it rice. that makes sense...


first option- no, i dont like it. has nothing to do with being "rice", i just don't care for it. a little too bright and stand-out-ish for my taste

2nd option- like it best

3rd- second best

4th- best for you, since you want something with the red.

First one is terrible.

The other two are great.

2nd one is my favourite.

Do it!

I've had the wheel you're getting in black(Exact same styling but a different maker), the shape felt nice to drive with, was in a CRX though. I remember loving the wheel, and I will most likely get one for the camaro.

Here's my Momo Tek-R. Not as flashy as that red one but I don't think it's ricey at all.

nope, no hurt feelings here.

just a general pet peeve for me. the use of "rice" to describe anything that may be disliked for our cars.

its a bright *** red steering wheel, that in no way makes my mind point towards something made for imports. its just a very bright wheel.

Where do you relocate your airbag to?

I think one is required for inspection in this state.

Seattle doesnt have visual inspection.. they just read your OBDII.
