I would like the feel of a momo, without paying 250+..........

What do you guys use? Anyone know of any nice options out there?

I will not purchase a Grant...


The stock wheel in my 79 is ok, but I would like something a wee bit newer, as it is a little worn from age.

Buy a kit and recover with leather? Or perhaps a 911 wheel from the salvage yard?

Search online for Momo and Lecarra, buy one used for a decent price. Spend all your money on the stupid expensive Momo 6-bolt adapter.

Don't go too small unless you've got strong arms (or want stronger arms)

I have a Lecarra and I like it a lot and I've had a number of Grant wheels, which I've also mostly liked, just don't buy from the cheap end of their brand and it is a good solution.

BTW, they make Porsche horn buttons for most of the common aftermarket wheels.

Search around and you'll find some.

Since some of the 911 wheels will fit, you may find some interesting take-offs from 911 folks.

Lets see…

Would this be cheap enough?

Incase you didn't know already the Vdub Mk1 Scirocco steering wheel will fit the transaxle cars.


I went for the Porsche (928) 4-spoke leather steering wheel that is slightly smaller then stock.


Cheers, Harm.

That 4-spoke OEM version did come in some of the 924/931 models...I believe it was either an option or possible available with the M471 package (not sure, just speculation on my part). I think I even have one still from my 1981 Euro 931 (which I've replaced with a Momo Corse wheel).

I've never understood the stigma associated with Grant. I've had one in my NA since 2004. It's inexpensive, has held up well to daily driving, looks great, and feels great. In my opinion, it's a great option to consider, and is about as inexpensive as you can get.

both of my grant rubber grip wheels held up really well. one I got used from a 74 super beetle and now has 75k miles on it! only signs of use is the rubber is worn a bit and lost some of the bumpy texture, but it's not falling apart or anything...

Who has the best pricing for the Grant?

I would like a slightly smaller wheel for leg room, but don't wan't to go to small, although my '87 has power steering.

Any advice?

Two MOMO options that I find are the most appropriate for a 924 are Prototipo and Cavallino. I know that the numbers are against you over in America, but you should try sourcing cheap Prototipos from old FIATs and Cavallinos from old VWs.

Mk1 and early mk2 Rabbit/Jetta use the same wheel hub adapter as a 924. I managed to get a wheel together with hub and horn button for around 50$ just because it said VW on the horn button.
