FS: Nardi steering wheel + sparco quick release hub
#7
I just bought this car a few days ago for the drive train and am not the original owner so I can't confirm 100% real or fake. I simply listed it based on the brand I see on the wheel / release.
That said, this car was built in 2007 so perhaps possible that its older style that Sparco no longer sell / list in their catalog? If its knock off, they must have copied it from SOMEWHERE so its not unreasonable to think Sparco at one point had a real version that looks just like the current ebay fakes ?
Judging by the other components on this car as well, I would be very surprised if it was fake. Had a FM built engine, begi turbo kit, 6 speed tranny, torsen swapped into a 93. Interior was completely redone with insulation and new color. Also had hard top, and a bunch of other niceties on it. It was obvious when this car was built someone spent A LOT of money on it. Hard to imagine that person spending all that money for an all out drive train and then slapping on fake eBay wheels / quick release to save a few hundred, but I don't have receipt so I won't discount the possibility.

It's an Ebay QR at least for sure. The wheel i'm not sure about. The leather wrap looks kinda "meh" at best for Nardi, but i also haven't seen many of their suede wheels.
The QR is the same ebay one you can get unbranded for $20, it just has the Sparco log on it. Ebay fakes have been the same since the beginning of time. Early NRG knockoff.
