what would i need to purchase along with this in order for it to fit?
will i need a boss kit?

Yes - you'll need a boss kit..I can say that with Certainty cause I have an extremely similar steeringwheel...mine's silver instead of carbon effect..

Nice wheel - though if you can justify it I'd go for a real leather one instead..

Try ebay for the boss kit there is a few on there. Just be careful that the boss kit will fit the car AND the steering wheels itself. I'm not entirely sure as I have only bought one steering wheel but I know I had to get a MOMO boss kit for the steering wheel I got, so I assume the are different ones available. There is a nice one on ebay thats made from alluminim

does anyone know exactly what i need?

you cannot buy a boss kit unless you have the dimensions you need for the steering wheel to fit .

boss kit's can be found on Ebay between 19-60 eur but they have different fitments ( wheel side . eg, bolt fitting, number of holes,distance between them ) . If you like that steering wheel , buy it and then compare a few boss kits that other owners have OR pm the fella who is selling it and ask him what boss would you need ( what boss kits are compatible with the wheel ) .
In general a MOMO boss kit would fit most of the steering wheels but unfortunately they are the most expensive.
Mitsumaniac was selling a boss kit some time ago viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10292&p=80250&hilit=boss#p80250 , worth PM'ing him and have a look .


PS : personal opinion , there are nicer steering wheels out there mate

Just read through both the ads there (both yours and mauds) and it says it fits all standard 6 hole boss kits in both ads. It says in one that it fits momo so I would think you'd be safe with one of them, but I'd still ask to be on the safe side. Not sure what the shop name is but there was a guy at a meet in drogheda that sells these type of steering wheels (maybe not the exact one you want). Apparently he is in fairyhouse market every sunday so might be worth a look before you buy on the net. He was cheap enough, so I reckon his price and the price + p&p on ebay would be fairly close, probably a little cheaper on ebay but at least you'd have some sort of come back if any thing was to go wrong. He also advertises in some of the car mags. keith_998cc probably knows the name of the shop.

ill have to agree with seb on this one. well better looking steering wheels out there, personally i love the carbon fibre look of it but i think the mitsubishi badge in the middle is a bit tacky looking
its your choice tho mate, if you like it ,get it, your the one who has to look at it when driving

There may be better wheels out there but if you're on a budget that price seems great. I must have paid nearly €300 for my Momo and Boss.
I think that wheel looks pretty good for the price.
