Went out for a spin in the Sussex Downs earlier. Although the standard wheel is nice to use, I wonder is the R32 item superior?

Does anyone have one for sale?

Oh its good, bloody excellent in fact.

The GTI wheel is very wimpy compared to the R32/R-Line wheel.

 

[thechief]

I agree with Gary, its a fantastic wheel and worth every penny!

 

[turbo paul]

yep i remember thinking how different the car felt to drive with the r-line wheel fitted. So chunky and soft.

 

[RichieDan]

What differences are there between the leather 3 spoke wheel, and the R wheel? Whats makes it better?

 

[GaryM]

Its just so much chunkier, also has a thumb grip.

Looks so much nicer too.

 

[Rivage]

Oh no, not again... I can hear the voices starting.... 'buy it,.. buy it' [/Smeagle voice]

Often several on ebay. They normally sell for around the going rate. These items are still to popular to get a bargain

Has anyone got a decent close up pic of a R32 or R-Line s/wheel

 

[RichieDan]

Woudl I assume correctly, that if you have a standard wheel, like mine, that you can remove the airbag module from it, and put in the R32 wheel? I saw a pic somewhere of the R32 wheel, that was in grey leather, do I assume correctly that it comes in black as well?

The wheel is fantastic but it does have one major draw back... after you have driven with one all other cars seem to have really weedy and skinny

Definately a lovely wheel!

how easy is it to fit? is there a guide or do I need to get it done buy a garage cos of the airbag?

 

[GaryM]

Easy to fit. Disconnect battery negative first though.

 

[thechief]

Alan,

Very easy, if you don't fancy the job i'd easily do it for you. You have to release both airbag securing pins then remove the old wheel with a spline drive bit.
