RDX SLIMLINE Steering Wheel

[Landyfox]

I quite tempted to ask Santa for one of these RDX SLIMLINE Steering Wheels for Christmas. Has anyone got one, what benefits/disadvantages does fitting one of these offer. If it's just looks then it can bog off at £130.

I may well have a brand new one without the boss for sale in the new year!

The boss is very well made and high quality.

Leta get Xmas out the way and ill give you a shout! Not fond of posting things now, very likely to get lost/massive delay!

I have one of those in the loft. They used to be cheap, can't remember how much now but I wouldn't spend £130 on one.

I found it to be quite flimsy when I had it fitted (I had it fitted for about 2 years).

I replaced it with a Richbrook one a mate gave me from his RRC, a lot better, seems to be really well made and looks about the same in terms of styling.

After a quick google they're only £85.

Had one of these on mine for the last 18 months, no problems at all. No wear and has a nice feel to it.

I was wondering what this one is like, seems good value for money

Wow... That appears to be fantastic value, I wounder why it's so cheap.?!

I'm still unsure what benefits fitting one of these smaller steering wheels offers over the traditional larger steering wheels.

Not sure, it looks ok for the price.

For me a smaller steering wheel would decrease the amount of backlash and give me slightly more space for my elbow.

For me ease of getting in. Fitted a bucket seat which raised my position about an inch, then the large wheel rubbed on my legs was a pita.

Gives you a lot more space if your a larger gentleman! which I am and definitely stops you hitting your elbow quite so much.
Looks nice feels nice but needs a few more turns! Mines the Momo variety
