The Five Most Affordable Steering Wheels
OMP steering wheels from £108
The question Cameron hears on most steering wheel enquiries is what car it is going into and whether it is staying on the road or moving to track-only use. Both questions matter before the wheel choice, because the boss kit is car-specific and always a separate part, and whether the car is road-legal determines which hub type and quick-release arrangement is correct. There are cars where the boss kit costs more than the wheel.
All five of the cheapest steering wheels in this category are OMP. The next brand in price order is Sparco, starting at £143.40. OMP runs from £108 to £140.40 on this page, and that £32.40 spread between cheapest and most expensive is narrower than any other category we have covered in this programme. The real split is size: these five span 300mm to 380mm, and that difference matters more than the price gap.
- All five picks are OMP. The next brand in price order is Sparco at £143.40.
- Every wheel on this page needs a car-specific boss kit, priced separately.
- The OMP Mugello at £108 is the only wood-rim option. The rest use leather, polyurethane, leatherette or suede.
- Size range is 300mm (Trecento, Trecento Uno) to 380mm (Sand). The Mugello and Racing GP are 350mm and 330mm.
- The Trecento and Trecento Uno are both 300mm at £132. The Trecento adds suede and polyurethane options.
OMP at the entry price point
There are 132 steering wheels in this category. The five cheapest are all OMP, and the gap from the most expensive pick on this page (£140.40) to the next non-OMP wheel (Sparco P222, £143.40) is about £3. That is not a gap that explains very much. What it tells you is that OMP has built a set of flat-dish motorsport wheels that sit at a price point where no other brand competes on a like-for-like basis.
All five use three-spoke aluminium construction and a flat dish, 0mm dish depth. The differences are rim material and diameter. Those two things do more work than the price spread across the five picks.
Garreth’s view is that these are not budget wheels with corners cut. They are straightforward motorsport steering wheels at a price that makes sense for a track-day car or a road car that goes to circuits. The Mugello wood wheel has been in OMP’s range for a long time. The price reflects a product that does not change much.

OMP Mugello, £108. The cheapest wheel on this page is the only wood-rim option in the five. The Mugello is 350mm, flat dish, three aluminium spokes, and includes a horn push. It suits classic interiors and period-look builds: we have fitted them in Triumph saloons, modified Golfs, and similar cars where the wood works with the rest of the interior. If you want to see what one looks like installed, the OMP Mugello customer car guide has photographs from a Triumph Vitesse install. At £108 it costs £22.20 less than the next pick. What you give up is the leather or suede grip option and a 20mm reduction in diameter compared to the Racing GP.
OMP Racing GP, £130.20. The Racing GP is 330mm, the second-smallest size on the page. Flat dish, three aluminium spokes, leather or leatherette grip. At £130.20 it sits £22.20 more than the Mugello. Garreth’s view is that if the wood look does not suit the car, the Racing GP is the better starting point for most motorsport builds: smaller diameter, conventional leather grip, and the same flat construction.
OMP Trecento, £132. The Trecento is 300mm, the smallest size on the page. It has the widest material choice of any pick here: leather, polyurethane, or suede. The suede option is the one to note for competition use, because suede holds grip better than leather or polyurethane when your hands are warm. At the same £132 price as the Trecento Uno, the difference is in those material options: the Trecento adds suede and polyurethane, the Trecento Uno offers leather and leatherette only.
OMP Trecento Uno, £132. The Trecento Uno is also 300mm, at the same £132 price as the Trecento. Materials here are leather or leatherette only, which makes the choice simpler if suede grip is not a factor for your use. If you do not need suede, it covers the same 300mm size at the same price with a more straightforward material range.
OMP Sand, £140.40. The Sand is the largest wheel on this page at 380mm and the most expensive at £140.40, which is £8.40 more than picks three and four. Leatherette grip only, flat dish, three aluminium spokes. Cameron would note that 380mm is closer to standard road car wheel sizing, which makes the adjustment smaller for drivers moving from an unmodified car to a car with a swapped wheel. A 300mm wheel on the same car will give more feedback through the rim but takes more getting used to.

Sizes: 300mm to 380mm
The five picks on this page span 80mm of diameter. A 300mm wheel (Trecento, Trecento Uno) is small by road car standards. It puts more steering action through the rim and suits a car with a fixed or low seat position where there is limited clearance between knees and wheel. A 350mm wheel (Mugello, Racing GP) is the most common size in club motorsport and fits the majority of modified road cars without any clearance issues. A 380mm wheel (Sand) is the largest here and the one that feels most familiar when you are used to driving a standard road car.
The right size depends on the car’s cockpit layout and the driver’s position in it. Cameron will check the available knee clearance and arm reach before any order goes out, particularly on cars where the seat is fixed low and the driver’s knees come close to the wheel. If you have a specific measurement or a seat that limits space, drop us an email or click to open a chat and we will confirm the right diameter before the order goes.
The boss kit: a separate purchase
We stock B-G Racing and MOMO boss kits for a wide range of makes. If your car is in our range, Cameron can confirm the correct kit at the same time as the wheel order. To find the boss kit for your car, the make-specific hub guides on this site list every B-G and MOMO kit we stock. The Mitsubishi hub guide is one example of the format. There are guides for most popular makes.
Boss kit pricing varies by car but typically runs from £40 to £110 inc VAT. A budget for the wheel plus boss kit is the right starting figure for any steering wheel swap. Some cars also need a horn button or wiring adapter, which adds a small amount on top. If you are fitting to a road car, the road-legal steering wheel guide covers the UK requirements for a road-going aftermarket wheel swap.
Flat dish, deep dish and semi dish
All five wheels on this page are flat dish, 0mm dish depth. That means the rim sits in the same plane as the hub attachment point: the wheel does not pull toward or push away from the driver. Flat dish is the most common choice for a modified car with the seat position adjusted to suit, because you set the reach with the seat position, not by choosing a dish depth.
Deep dish (70mm to 95mm depth) and semi dish (63mm to 72mm depth) options exist higher up the range if you need to bring the wheel closer to the driver without adjusting the seat. The deep dish guide and the semi dish guide cover those separately, with the exact depths and which wheels they apply to.
Do I need a boss kit with an OMP steering wheel?
Yes. Every aftermarket steering wheel, including all OMP wheels, needs a car-specific boss kit to fit onto the steering column. The boss kit is a separate purchase, priced by make, model and year. Cameron can confirm the right kit for your car before the order goes out. We stock B-G Racing and MOMO boss kits for most popular makes.
What steering wheel size should I choose?
300mm suits race-spec cars with fixed seats and limited knee-to-wheel clearance. 350mm suits the majority of modified road and track cars without any clearance issues. 380mm is the largest on this page and feels most familiar to drivers used to standard road car sizing. Cameron can confirm the right size for your car before the order goes out.
What is the difference between the OMP Trecento and Trecento Uno?
Both are 300mm flat-dish wheels at the same price of £132 inc VAT. The Trecento comes in leather, polyurethane, or suede. The Trecento Uno comes in leather or leatherette only. If suede grip is important to you (it holds better when warm), the Trecento is the right pick. If it is not, both cover the same 300mm size at the same price.
Can I fit an OMP steering wheel to a road car?
Aftermarket steering wheels can be fitted to road cars, but there are car-specific requirements around airbag systems and horn wiring. The road-legal steering wheel guide on this site covers what to check for a UK-registered car.
What is the difference between flat dish and deep dish?
Dish depth is how far the wheel rim sits in front of the hub attachment point. A flat-dish wheel (0mm dish) sits level with the hub. A deep-dish wheel brings the rim forward toward the driver. All five wheels on this page are flat dish. The deep dish guide and semi dish guide on this site cover those options separately, with exact dish depths for each wheel.
