Hi Everyone

370mm or 380mm cant remember 100% but keep thinking it's 370mm.

The new monte carlo from Fuel Autotek only come in 350mm...they'll easily fool majority of people who haven't seen original wheel up close.
Larger original size won't be remade when they contacted momo.

Horn button can still be bought HDT...cheaper direct than via ebay.

My understand is that the 380mm wheel was the only wheel ADR approved for the VK HDT cars.... A while ago there was a small run of "new" 380mm MOMO wheels produced complete with HDT horn rings, originally for sale on eBay for $650 18-24 months ago, now $1500 if you can find one.

Yeah remember limited run of the larger wheels being about 2 years back..was told Momo not interested in doing it again so had to buy smaller wheel...nobody has noticed difference yet lol

Main difference aside from 350mm size wheel is can be done for roughly $300-$350 for wheel/boss kit & hdt horn

As for ADRs you can still get done for no horn cover/exposed spokes..somehow vk grp a got through yet vk grp 3 & later cars have them.

HDT had the 380mm Momo Monte Carlo ADR approved, hence what they are legal. All other sizes are technically illegal, but chances the Police have pull you over for other violations rather than wanting to look at your steering wheel...... Your right there are 350 & 370mm wheels are still available for sensible money. For VL's Group A I think they incorporated a centre pad with horn buttons either side?????? I've spent a small fortune on momo wheels before finding an original/reproduction 380mm.

Momo MC 370mm c/w centre pad: (From a RX7 I think originally)

Momo MC 380mm: (Correct factory size wheel)

VL Group A:???

Looks like its the fuel Autotek one then is this the link so im assuming this is pretty good to original for the price only difference is it isnt an original momo and its 30mm smaller that orginal

The link is for a genuine “Momo” MC wheel.

Other than the “legality” of the wheel, you may want to think about a couple of things.

If you have manual steering (rather than power assist) the larger the diameter the easier the effort to steer with (more so at lower speeds).

If you are going to do track work, then 350mm is a better option.

Funny thing is an original VK wheels in excellent condition are becoming more valuable!

An original HDT steering wheel is always 380mm
