There are few different R-Sport wheels. R-Sport wheels have been available for 140 and 240 also. :P But here are some:

First and the second wheel are the same, but the center part which comes off, is different. That's my wheel in the first pic. :P

I have one on the way which needs re-covering....and hopefully another one which is in good condition, but that is proving a little tricky.

cheers

Yes, the steering wheel. Wheel 'A' has arrived. Wheel 'B' is the expensive near-mint one. The seller of wheel 'B' is proving to be an elusive fellow. If wheel B doesn't materialise....sorry Steve ;)

Dave Barton is a legend of Turbobricks...no problems with him.

Steering wheel A cost me about half what I'll sell it to Steve for...;)
About a tank full of fuel for a 360, once shipping is taken into consideration.

The 'nice' one includes a boss and horn push. So far I only know that it will be 'expensive', and I rather fear the worst!
