Default Steering Wheel Preference

What steering wheel do you prefer in your drag car. Just wondering. Post up pics if you like.

probably not sfi approved, but my simpson gloves grip it pretty well, and removability was a necessity.

I had a steering wheel that was given to me by a circle track racer for my Hot Rod, but it never felt quite right. Thanks for the pics and input.

i don't think a steering wheel has much to do with performance. I guess grip and comfort!! (can't really tell the difference from the stock one aside from the softt swede, lol).

in any case. This was a present from the wife last year (Sparco Flash 5)

If you have slicks and a spool get the biggest wheel you can live with. Your arms will thank you for it. I run a 15'' grant and Dave has a 13'' omp i believe and theres a noticeable difference when trying to wheel our Hotrods around.
