Talking your favorite steering wheel?

with recent strong feelings against the new mercedes s-class steering wheel, thought it might be fun for everyone to post pics of steering wheels you like, or love! or loathe.

you an oem kinda person, or like nardi, momo, or some other?

good article to get you some ideas.

People will probably have different opinions if the badges were removed.

The LFA's is one of my favorites too ^^.
The new S-class's steering wheel, although not something that I like, is not as bad to me as some others might feel about it, the 2-spoke steering wheel was on a lot of old Benz models ...




The metal ring on the wheel is actually the horn





My family had an old benz when I was a little kid with steering wheel like those ^^^

Highly likely, if it's a benz, everything automatically becomes better looking than it really is , my personal observations ...

Some steering wheels are really good looking, but don't feel very well - and then there are wheels that don't look as hot, but feel just right.

Wood steering wheels really look awesome to me, but they are slippery and not sporty. When it comes to feel I like steering wheels that are wrapped in smooth leather and aren't too thick. My mazda 3 steering wheel feels great, and my friends MB C class steering wheel feels really awesome as well.
