personally i think the first three all look a bit dated.

The prodrive does look a bid like some of the classic Momo wheels, and for me would be the only choice from this selection

Surely as it is prodrive wheel, it will not be to much of a prob getting one over here.

If they won't ship it, one of my close pals works 50/50 uk / us and has a place out there, so i'm sure it would not be an issue for him to bring it back for you.

GC-10's are cool too. Similar to a UK wheel but the US one is just a bit deeper in the middle with a bit more curve on the spokes. Looks soooo much better......Got a price from Prodrive USA..... Ouch! don't think i will bother

Also the ever popular 18" PFF7's are only about $300 (yes....dollars!!) each in the US compared to about £260 (Pounds!) each over here!

Lol, all joking aside. Dont expect a suede wheel to look nice long if youre driving it with bare hands.


Get some gloves
