Is a steering wheel a steering wheel?

I just ordered a new steering wheel, a hub, and a set of 2ohm resistors (to disable SRS light). I ordered the Tenzo R Turismo steering wheel and a sparco hub.

Here's the one I ordered (in titanium finish):


Now, I have a question. Is a steering wheel a steering wheel or what? I see the Momo's and Sparco's go for $200-300. I just couldn't fork out that much. I saw the eBay ones that come with a "Bride" horn button, but they look kind of cheesy. So, I settled on a Tenzo R. Are the Momo and Sparco wheels really worth that much more? Is there any difference?

And lastly, has anyone heard anything bad about Tenzo steering wheels?

Welp, can't wait to get it and get it installed. Springbreak is probably when that'll happen.

i think the only thing that could be lesser in quality is the material used on the wheel, some cheaper fabrics and leathers wear faster.. also the stiching and the finish. But compared to some i think Tenzo is reasonable quality. I dont blame you for paying less for a wheel that looks almost exactly the same with a different name

^^ like with momo at least you know your paying for real/nice leather. while with tenzo or apc, or any other brand you dont really know. most stearing wheel will be the same. i think the only think that sparco and momo has over it competiter is the amount of different design.
