I wonder what it would cost to send a wheel from here to the UK and back. It is surprising because I generally don't think of the UK as a low-labor-cost area! To your second comment, I think my local guy was giving me the "those are a real pain to do, please go away!" price.
I really can't fathom how the Momo knockoffs get here and retail for $30. Somewhere in China someone is making steering wheels for about 4 cents an hour.
