I'm considering a Sparco knob...anyone have experience with them?

Keep in mind, most aftermarket knobs mount with set-screws. I think the Sparco does. YOu may be happier with a dedicated threaded knob like the ones from TWM. (thead M10x 1.25) My weighted one with the pattern engraved is awesome and no finisher needed using the Redline boot. If you insist on retaining the cheap plastic OEM boot, then Z toys makes a finisher that wil work with aftermarket knobs...

Also, any knob made for a Mata will be the correct thread and pitch. Google Voodoo knobs:

The stock boot is kinda cheezy...
