Default I searched, but... MOMO Steering wheel.

Hi guys,
I am now planning to put a MOMO GTR2 steering wheel on my sc300 because I really hate its 4poke ugly tan worn wheel. However I'm confused what I need... Do I just need a MOMO hub? How about quick release? Do I need one? Does the horn work?
I have searched but I couldn't come up with an answer... Please let me know guys Thanks for your help

1. you can use any hub made for the MK4 Supra or IS300, or any other compatible toyota for that matter. SC guys typically get and IS or MK4 hub.
2. you do not need a quick release (its optional). I personal am against them because if u leave ur windows down its way too easy for someone to just steal ur steering wheel. I've seen it happen before.
3. Momo hub is probably the best for the money and most basic hub u can get.
4. u'd have to re-wire the horn button to your SC urself.

Works Bell Hub.

1. Lets you keep your clockspring
2. Comes with an adapter to keep your horn.
3. Comes with a resistor to keep your airbag light off.

4. Honestly, get a wheel that has an airbag and bypass all of this. An airbag just saved my life in another car. But it's up to you, just my two cents.

Thanks MIGS! I like the GTR2 because of its slightly-oem-ish look... A is/gs300 wheel looks good too but they're a bit pricey... They match the interior more thou.
So what's the differences between an ebay $20 hub and a MOMO almost $100 hub?

It's hard to find a nice steering wheel+airbag I think...

It's easy to find the wheel but it's very difficult to find the airbags... and they are a bit more expensive I think? The momo GTR2 is gonna cost around 350 with the hub...

And I don't really like is300's look plus I don't want any tan/wood steering wheel... So I guess I don't really have a choice?

No/yes/yes

And you won't be able to keep your clockspring with a momo hub, meaning you always have to manually turn off our turn signals and find a way to wire your horn a different way than from the clockspring. MIGS I think figured out how to wire his horn with a momo hub
