Here's the wheel that I won in the raffle over the summer. They didn't have a red one, so it was either black or blue and even though the steering on the boat doesn't always center, I like the feel of this one. I'm able to grip it in the Fl. heat and humidity. (my sweaty hands slipped off the old wheel more than once)

Hell, I hate the red dash anyways.......

I favor the ones with three evenly spaced spokes, with hydraulic steering the wheel does not always end up centered all the time. Off centered bothers me if the spoke ends up right where you want to put your hand. Just my opinion.

I like picture two. I like the fountain logo etched in the other picture someone posted. Here is my dash with that wheel.

I went with the polished Type 1 symmetrical wheel from Fred at Trick.

It really made the whole setup look a lot nicer.
I'd go with the Silver wheel with the polished spokes.

Perhaps the arched throttle base would look nice in the right silver/platinum:

Now I just have to install these:

Nice wheels. Thanks for the picture, but I like the one I have already better. I was just on the Momo Italy site. They have sick products on there.
