I love the new MOMO Evolution Steering Wheel that DMCH sells. What are everyone's thoughts about it?
I think it brings out the sports car in the Delorean
Great with Black interior
Modernizes it a bit

I like it. Just fyi, you can get a knock off on ebay for $35. Yes I know it's a knock off, but I bought one just for kicks, and I was actually surprised at how sturdy it feels. Even has an integrated horn switch if you want to hook it up. I'm sure the Momo one is nicer but I doubt it's $300 nicer.
Here's an example of the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-REAL-LEA...ht_2954wt_1185
here's the wheel:
Just add your own "DMC"
EDIT
Here's a picture of my "Knock Off" wheel:

I would definately go with the knock off brand...and the blank space is a good spot for a DMC emblem.
I had a MOMO Apache wheel on my modified Talon TSi which I loved the feel of. It was just perfect with the thumb grooves. If you have the extra $$ to spend, the MOMO leather did feel pretty nice, and wear was a non-issue. These knock off brands my look good new, but if they hold up in the long run(both wear and tear, and the dye not rubbing off on your hand) remains to be seen....but for 35 bucks you really can't go wrong giving it a try first.

I agree, the MOMO wheel looks great. But I think if it were put in a DeLorean and said DeLorean didn't have the recovered binnacle and dash it would look out of place. Great find on that "knock off". 35 bucks is almost unbeatable!

I haven't bought the adapter yet but I intend to. It has the 6 holes in the stainless portion for bolting to the adapter.
And yes, I'm not going to try to convince anyone that this is Momo quality, certainly not. Still, my car needs a new steering wheel anyway and compared to all the other options, $35 was just unbeatable. I had intended on getting the momo one until I saw this. I figured it was worth the small gamble; to me at least it was cause I'm sticking with it.

I got a similar $35 wheel and I love it. The DMC adapter did cost twice as much! But for that money I can change the wheel anytime and the adapter is the same.
Mine is smaller than stock, so it does cover the instruments more. But I don't care, and it sure enhances the go-kart feel on the car, which makes it more fun to drive.
Is that your car? I'm curious what you did with the shifter. Can you share?

I like the go cart feel too. Do you know if the MOM steering wheel is bigger or smaller than the stock one. I like the small wheel I just don't want it any bigger than whats on there now
You can also get the DMC logo for the middle on the Delorean store. However they are not in stock yet. They said it will probably have some in a month or so.
