Is it me or are EF/ED Steering wheels too big...

Maybe i'm crazy but the steering wheel in my Camaro is probably 1-2 inches smaller in diameter (maybe even 3 in). I haven't had my CRX long but i know my ability to turn the car is inhibited by the huge wheel! I know there are Momo and other brand steering wheels but they go for well over $100/$200 sometimes more...are there any good honda/acura OEM wheels that fit and are smaller diameter?

Anyone share my pain?

I'm used to my tiny Momo, so most any car I drive feels like a school bus for me.

This might be a dumb question but are the steering wheels sooo big because of the lack of pwr steering? Does anyone with after-market steering wheels find it harder to turn.

^^^ correct!! a larger steering wheel equates to a greater mechanical advantage. But other than at a dead stop, haveing a larger wheel is annoying.

Re: (hondaaaaah)

I don't really like the look of most aftermarket wheels and right now i don't want to dish out several hundred for a MOMO so are there any "stock" wheels that are smaller? ITR? anything that would fit with little modifications...

No..your hands are just too small.

And you know what they say about guys with small hands?

They wear small gloves

You know what? IF you've ever driven a BMW you'll be thanking God for that Honda steering wheel.

Re: (VashTheStampede)

Well i don't care if i'd driven a school bus for half my life these EF/ED steering wheels aren't much smaller! Honestly i think it's about the same size as most SUV's steering wheels these days...
