        Good info on the RX-7 hub. I'll put it on my need list.
        Compared to Momo/Sparco/Nardi/Personal they are junk. They are covered with vinyl and the aluminum spokes look cheap. Compared to Grant, pretty good. However, for the price, they are excellent. You can buy them as a steering wheel hub combo (search for miata steering wheel or rx7 steering wheel) for less than what you would pay for the momo hub.

            do u,think an 82 rx7 steering wheel[4 spoke],would bolt on to a festy,without an adapter? the 82,has a 3in. hub [plastic] attached. do u,have to relocate turn signal,with this wheel? mdoyleufo@gmail.com

              +1 for miata adapter. I have a grant one and a 3 spoke wheel, very good quality and very nice finish. I really dont like ebay steering wheels, they have a tendency to bend.

                I think I ordered an RX7 adaptor, as they dont list a fit for Festiva.
                Steering wheel was like $20 ebay. I stuck a Yamaha center cap sticker in the middle. If you look at it, its 3 tuning forks!
                I'm a musician, so how cool is that.

                    Grant Hub 3597

                    I'm running a Grant wheel, on a Grant hub (part# 3597), that's specifically for the festy.

                    here's my older setup:

                    here's my current setup:


                    On both steering wheels, I felt like the turn signal switch was too close (since most AM steering wheels aren't concave like the stock wheel.)
                    So to fix that problem, i just switched the hi-lo beam wires so my low beams would be in the high beam position. It works, but you have the blue indicator on constantly (not that big of an eye sore).

                    The Grant hub adapter can be found at JCWhitney.com, or through any froogle search.

                    hope this helped!

                      those are both pretty sexy. I went with a classic look. I know what you mean about the signal, its annoying how close it is and i just leave my high beams on all the time. But i am going to change the wires now, such a good idea!

                        I like that billet style a lot! And yeah, simple wire relocation and the annoyance is gone.

                            I heard that some of the ebay wheels are just pvc pipe and will break if you lean on the top? Is this true?

                              We bought a fake Nardi 'style' steering wheel off eBay to see just how bad, dangerous and rubbish they are! This applies to all fake steering wheels includin...
