Does anybody know the diameter of the rim, not the 13" OD but the part that you put your hands on?
It looks smaller than a Moto-Lita leather rim but larger than the wooden Moto-Lita one.

It's delicate, about 2.2 cm and quite in keeping with the period unlike than the more chunky wheels now in fashion. It's very much a metter of what you like the feel of.

My wife told me last night that she has ordered it! She phoned up and said "Hello I would like to order part number TTRSS 016 STEERING WHEEL 26R PATTERN POLISHED ALLOY SPOKES WITH BEST CONNOLLEY LEATH..." He interrupted to say "Would you like the red or the black one?"
I'm so excited! I might only be able to push the car onto the driveway and sit and hold it, possibly making engine noises, but I can think of worse ways to spend a weekend.

So did she know the answer, or did she just order one of each?

She did , it's in the part number, and I reiterated several times that I wanted the red one. Although if it came in black I would see it as fate as I was really torn which colour to go for. Probably 60% towards red. If my car wasn't (mostly) red I probably would have gone for black. It was the picture of the red one that Old English White posted that swayed me towards it. Now I just need to get the proper horn push. I was watching one on FleaBay and the winning bid was more than my new TTR wheel!

Darn it, I missed that one.
There's another black one now, but with a starting bid of ?75.

I'm not sure if I want a black one either, I feel that my horn push should be the same as the nose badge.

I've just seen that r.d. enterprises sell horn pushes for $86.00
http://www.rdent.com/
Has anyone bought one of these? Are they of good quality and close to the original appearance?

I have fitted Momo Monte Carlo 320s to both my Elan and my 2002Tii. I like the elliptical cross section of the rim, the position of the spokes, and the over-all simplicity. Plus, it's nice to have the same wheel in each of my performance cars.
My Elan came with an original S2 wheel (as well as two aftermarket wheels) that I didn't need, and so I sold it for about 10% of what the entire car cost me. Color me happy!
