what would be a good size to get? i wanted 300mm or 290mm but im not so sure anymore. ppl say thats a little too small.

what's the stock size steering wheel diameter? i searched but couldn't find the stock size diameter. (i saw it in a thread before though :bash: )

also, what kind of steering wheels would you guys recommend? and what sizes? im thinking momo but get mixed reviews. some say its nice quality, while others say its cheaply made for its high price tag. the nismo 365 looks ok, but too plain and doesn't look like it was made for firm grip for your hands. its expensive but looks great w/ the optional cf trim for the center. i wanted a steering wheel w/ cf around it instead of leather so it doesn't rip off due to age but its kinda hard to find one and now im leaning towards the 320mm momo race. so throw out your opinions and steering wheels preferences out there guys.

heartwork. did you have to custom order that wheel in 300mm? i thought it only came in 320mm and 350mm.

Well, the smaller the wheel the harder it is to turn especially at low speeds, and with no power steering you can kiss one hand driving goodbye (at least in parking lots)

Whoa, that chair in the second picture is so weird... armrests, but no backrest. :confused:

I'm thinking about getting an OMP steering wheel, either the WRC or Rally. I like the dish. I also really like a certain Nardi wheel, not sure what it really is, but I've heard it called a Deep Corn. But damn are they expensive. :ughd:

i like something about 350. its just about right. a lot of people, including myself measure the distance between the armpits.
