Done the same thing a few years ago before installing the NSX-R column covers, also removed the Tuner logo back then too.
The momo isnt too badly offset, here's my old wheel I just sold, and the momo logo doesnt look too offset
Difference in the tuner and NSX-R wheel logos are, momo sits much higher up and centred, and there is also the momo wording embossed into the spoke at the bottom.

I think the most difference/benefit is from the reduced diameter rather than weight. Never has 21 mm felt so differantOriginally Posted by TheSebringOne
IMHO fitting this wheel made much more of a difference to steering feel etc than the chassis bars.
I went for the gunmetal version and stayed with the matching Momo surround/horn push to match my knob (lovin' innuendos today) and also put it on a quick release boss which also adds an element of extra security
Pic attached of my one (steering wheel AND Knob)...

Nice work , Connor.
Not much difference from the outside compared to the OEM one.
The biggest difference is the 9 fixing holes on OEM one compared to the 6 on the aftermarket ones.
I also thought about replacing the column cover to get rid of the small hole for the cable reel position indicator.
However, at the end, I decided to keep it in order to place small push switch for Cruise control ‘Set’ function.
For everyday car, I love to keep Cruise Control.
Just don’t have time to carry out any works on my car …

This sounds like something to try doing when I get some spare time.
Looks very good indeed Connor.
Do you have to declare this to your insurer? (changing the cars OEM safety equipment by removing the drivers-side airbag).

Cheers - yeah I had to declare that the driver's airbag was removed.
Just a note on wiring the horn -
I used the Sudesh method of using a scalextric copper braided brush as an electrical contact as these are soft and will not damage the circular brass ring on the hub.
I crimped one into a ringlet terminal and with another overlapping ringlet terminal (with the crimped wire coming from it) I fastened the two together with a self tapping screw on the vacant screw hole to bottom right of the steering wheel.
Here's a diagram I done. Crude, but you get the idea!:
Aaah Connor San, You choose wisely!
