    Nardi fakes normally look wayy off, but this doesnt in the first pic so id guess its real but once you see how shoddy it is there is no way its genuine. I bet it looks worse in person

    Did you get a horn button with it?

    Does the wheel flex/bend easy. Thats a good way to tell. Fakes will flex in your hand.

    A test I like to do:
    Fit each wheel to steering column. Grab the wheel and try to twist it. If there is NO flex in the wheel AND the steering column wants to move, then it is genuine (or of decent quality at least). BUT, if the wheel flexes before the column wants to move, it is is low quality or a fake.

    I bought that exact model nardi in an autobacs in japan (so I know its the real deal) a few years ago. Yours looks very much the same, but the quality of stitching and leather on mine is perfect.
    *edit* after looking at the pics again I would say that mine looks exactly the same, even the glued down edges etc.

    Looks fake but maybe just a bad photo. Fake ones cost about $150 brand new, genuine cost like $350-$450 depends on who you buy off..
    This looks similar to a few I've seen for $150 price..again, maybe just a bad photo..But the material is very very snug and tight On the wheel where as this one looks a bit rough and soft and sloppy.
