Hello,
which of these Moto-Lita T-spoke steering wheels for E-Type V12 do you prefer?
the 14" with 4 holes on everey spoke or the 15" with 5 holes on every spoke?
The smaller 14" steering wheel gives you more room between the steering wheel and the legs, but 4 holes look "poor" compared to 5 holes that look much more refined and elegant...
What is your opinion?
The horn push button MUST be the original one that looks amazing.
Thank you and best regards from Valencia

SNG Barratt do a 15 inch wheel with five holes per spoke and no rivets on the rim. Worth considering?

I've had the leather 3 spoke 14" Moto Lita for years now and that does it for me.

Hello,
I love the rivets, because they steering wheel looks much more dynamic than without. And I prefer the T-spoke design over the Y-spoke one.
My question was just to see if you prefer 14" with 4 holes or 15" with 5 holes.
Regards from sunny Valencia

I fitted a 13" MotoLita in My S3 and also reduced the pump pressure for less assist and more feel.
Just an other data point.
