    Oh and I'm sure the leather or whatever does not have wrinkles.. Pretty sure it should be smooth with the normal dimple dot patterns

    Oh nevemind, genuine material has wrinkles too lol

    Just try to bend it with your hands.. Or use it and see how long it last before it breaks apart

    I bought the exact same wheel... When I first got it I was quite ignorant and didn't even consider the fact that it could be a fake. But now this thread has got me worried! Shit, if this is fake I am going to heart broken... Kinda like finding out that your miss's is actually a dude.

    I payed 350 for mine. Another reason to be pissed if its fake. I thought it would be safe because the people I got mine off are an australian based company, or so they say.

    just keep in mind the if you expect the leather to be shiny it isn't until you use it abit. the natural oils in your skin help gives the leather the shiny look.

    we need better photos ... if your not happy with the quality email the guy to send you another one.

    i had the same suspicion with mine, but then thought it couldn't be a fake because of how strong it was( wheel will only flex when the steering column does). it could just be a factory second?

    Sooo you bought it from who?

    Cartel? They distribute for driftworks whom are an authorized European nardi distributor . A fairly legit company I wouldn't be too concerned.

    You would know if it was fake, it'd bend with minimal force:

    i genuinely do wonder why people bother buying shit from ebay...especially when alot of the sellers are "questionable" and sooo many fake items are available these days...tomei fuel regs/nardi steering wheels being classic examples



    genuine reseller...well known business...$6 more expensive than the questionable ebay seller...

    reputable business everytime!

    Im starting believe mine is fake. It's begining to peel at the bottom and it doesn't match up to the ones in the photos on that cartel sight. Starting to get really pissed off . Anyone know if theres some kinda action you can take againts someone who sells you something fake?
