I paid $327 for my grey one, brand new. Which I thought was a pretty good deal also, so I'd say around $300 is what a grey one will set you back...

And it's definately worth is with the grey interior.

Ratglobal on ebay is roman autotek. The wheels are brand new. And they are genuine (all made in Mexico) and come with warranty. ebay is your friend (or can be). Like all friends, it can also bite you from time to time, but that's what beer was invented for (to forget).

I have recently picked up a brand new red MOMO wheel from e-bay for $235 and can find nothing wrong with it and fitted perfectly.
Have just got a blue one for a mate off e-bay and only cost $160.
Both brand new and as far as I can tell are genuine.

Hey, whats involved in replacing the wheel in regard to the air bag, is it a fairly straight forward operation?

Ah yeah I always forget to do a search first. Found a howto JC wrote in an old thread, sounds like some buggering around, and I don't have any torx bits, I'd probably end up letting Ford do it for the $50 odd they charge. ;)
