    Hello,

    What do you guys think of the 3 spoke wheel on the 355 ?

    I am planning to get one pretty soon, do you think the 3 spoke wheel'd cars are more or less desirable.

    Are you talking about the 360 airbag wheel or the non-airbag wheel?

    I think the 360 wheel looks sweet on a 355! Not near as bulky and still in the Ferrari family.

    Probably worth the same. I prefer the airbag wheel on the street, non-aribag on the track. I also like the non-airbag because you can space it so it's closer to you, which is my one ergonomical complaint with the 355 - wheel is too far away for me.

    I had one hanging in my garage for several years. I ended up selling it to a local guy with a challenge car.

    If anyone has one available, please let me know. Id like another.

    What adaptor do you have and I really like that look but I have no clue where to start looking, Does Momo recommend wheels by vehicle?

    I just don't want to buy a wheel and then have it not work. I need to do some research.

    I did the same modification. Incredibly easy. However, don't forget to bridge the steering wheel airbag connector with a .022 mOhm resistor/120 V (spade plug-resistor-spade plug with shrink tubing insulation) or the airbag ECU will throw a trouble light/code and, very possibly, the passenger airbag will be non-functional. This problem was first identified and solved by, IIRC, member username: 11XLOUD.

    BTW, did you have to tweak your tie rod ends to get your steering wheel to have a normal position (i.e., straight up-and-down) with the wheels straight?

    The regular Momo adapter works with the F355 and any wheel they sell....
    but you will need to buy the Ferrari Horn Button as their wheels come with the Momo roundel for the horn....

    It literally takes about 5 minutes to swap back and forth from wheel to wheel....

    Where did you get those door panel speaker enclosures? Looks awesome! Do you also have a sub somewhere?

    I'd get the 355 non-airbag wheel in a heart beat. It's how the car was supposed to come

    Has anyone checked to see if available from any of the European suppliers? I did a quick check on SuperperformanceUK but didn't see it there.

    I like the look of the Momo wheel.

    I got it off ebay from the UK....keep looking...although they are getting very difficult to find. I did put an adaptor due to the bolt circle but also to push the steering wheel 1.5 in closer....find my thread you will see the pdf drawing of the adaptor. it is also a mater of taste....this oem wheel is made by MOMO and stamped 1996..Maybe MOMO can supply equivalent.

    The raid airbag wheel is the best on my opinion. It is very high quality and looks the business.
    I installed one in my '02 Esprit V8TT.
    It changed the look and feel of the car. I've seen 355's with this wheel and it completes the interior IMHO
