Sparco steering wheel - real or knockoff?

[jardine90si]

I'm purchasing a second hand Sparco steering wheel. What can I look for to tell if it is real or fake? Is there any certain markings or what? Here are some pictures of the wheel, what do you guys think?






Any help would be great, thanks.

That looks to be a real Sparco. The question is, how much is the person asking? I ask because it isn't in very good shape as far as fading goes. The wheel its self isn't worth very much.

I thought it looked like it was good condition, where did you notice fading? It comes with a hub, which is no name, for my 90' civic. He has it posted with the hub for $100 but I may be able to offer less.

Probably really late on this. I am sorry for leaving you hanging. The fading I am talking about it the top portion that is usually suede material. That is either a terrible photo or the material is really faded. It also looks like all of the suede is worn off. That or the leather is worn down a good bit. The color should match close if not right on to the rest of the wheel.
