    ive had an isotta evoluzione in my vs for about 3 years and still looks nearly new, i paid $300 for it brand new and it is very good quality and has a much better feel than some of the cheap ones plus it looks great. but im selling the car now and dont know if i should take it out and sell it or just leave it in the car.

    Not to mention there usually not ADR approved. Plus I wouldn't want to see what your head will look like after hitting the centre of the steering wheel.

    They aren't ADR approved, if there's nothing in the middle to protect your head it's not roadworthy.

    Might not have airbags, but still has a certain amount of padding on it, unless it's an older car before it was required. Dunno if you could argue that an older steering wheel is no worse than an aftermarket one, even if you're right you'd still get defected for it.

    ive never had a problem with cops regarding the steering wheel, got pulled up one night for an rbt and he just told me to press the horn to make sure it worked and didnt say anything else about it, im sure if it was defectable he would of told me, but this is in WA and i dont know if it is more strict in other states.

    Even if you don't get pulled up for it which would you prefer your head hit in the case of an accident? Some padding or metal?

    These wheels are top notch.The owner was apart of the MOMO company but went out on his own and started a new line/brand.These are not a cheaply made wheel by any means.

    As far as im aware the wheels are ADR approved as much as the MOMO(genuine)ones,after all he knows what it takes.

    aussiesport you need to learn to read. Just a helpful tip. Even if your steering wheel is ADR approved. Keep the packaging close by as proof. It's one of the first things cops look for when handing out defects.

    i had a white isotta evolutione and found it to be of very high quality as far as non padded sports steering wheels go being legal i got a rwc in vic with a wood steering wheel and it passed no problems also been pulled over heaps and the cops have never said anything (maybe because im not a young p plater but a 40 y/o) i have heard though they should be padded like the group a momo wheels for example but but ive never been quizzed on my non padded ones
