you get what you pay for. honestly, I wouldn't trust my only means of aiming my car to cheap components. Hence why I just saved up and bought a nardi w/ a real BOSS hub.

makes me laugh everytime.

Note: I'm not a Nardi fanboi or anything, I've just always loved that classic look. IMHO, if you're going to buy a steering wheel, buy from a reputable well known company, same goes for the hub. Most knock-off hubs don't actually fit the column spindles properly and will loosen frequently, requiring re-tightening.

I had a Nardi deep dish knockoff and that was garbage, it broke on one of screw holes where it mounts to the hub. I used a cheap boss hub and it didn't work too well, the horn contact was cheap and didn't last. I used the horn contact from a NRG hub and used it temporarily. Don't get me started w/ the ebay quick releases. I went through 2 of the slim type QR's and they were cheap and broke. Now I'm using a Personal Hub, NRG slim QR and a real Nardi Classic Steering wheel. Some times you have to pay a lil more to get quality and durability.
