i am using 350mm momo steering wheel...350 mm is in diameter as about 13.78 inches..which is perfect size for eg or ek..u dont want to go with 320mm..too small and will block the cluster reading.and hard to turn if u dont have power steering

i like aftermarket steering wheels.cause they are lighter better grip..momo and sparco...nardi..etc are very good aftermarket steering wheels.but u have to deal with no air bag protection..

Crazy guy is right. The wheel will look smaller and does help with the steering. I have a dc2 type r wheel on my eh3 and it blocks my speedo which can suck when a cop is tailing you. Stick with the 350mm.

You can always go with the EK9 type R wheel, made by Momo espesially for civics I'm not sure what mm size it is but I have one on a bb6 prelude and It doesn't block my instrument panel. It also Has SRS, great for safety.

expletive AIRBAGS!?!?! NO!!! Airbags are by no means perfect but they are good at what they do, and anyone who disagrees is either dead or stupid. If your wearing your seatbelt then you are mostlikely not going to have problems with air bags and when you do, better with the airbag then your steering wheel or dash... If you got harnesses than they are pretty useless, but then again thats not what they were designed to be used with. You say expletive AIRBAGS, I say expletive STUPID PEOPLE!!!


Oh, sorry to jack your thread btw...
