Default 320mm Momo Monte carlo wheel question

I wanna buy a brand new 320mm momo monte carlo steering wheel.
But it seems like there are two types of momo monte carlo.
No-one (not even momo Canada) can confirm this for me.

It seems like 1 of the wheels has a thicker grip and spokes, compared to the other one. check pics:

320mm thin grip/spokes ????????



320mm thick grip/spokes



This is a pic of the 320mm monte carlo wheel I have in my car. It is much thicker than my 350 momo monte carlo wheel in my civic.



Im confused as to why this is ? I called momo Canada and they said there is only 1 kind of momo monte carlo design.
I want to try and buy the thicker wheel..

Yea 1 momo monte carlo design to purchase but the different wheel like the Porsche one came as a factory option for that specific car which makes it a different design back then compared to the new wheels made now.

I have a 320mm Momo Monte Carlo and the first picture you posted looks like a 350mm wheel. You can tell by the proportion of the diameter to the spokes/horn button/bolt pattern.

I bought the 320mm b/c I loved the thickness and I dont like the look of the 350mm wheel too much (looks kinda big to me).

Edit: Just buy the 320mm Monte Carlo. It should be the thicker grip wheel.

I'ts and illusion, since the grip area of the wheel is not round but more of an oval shape and depending on how its viewed it make it look thicker. I noticed this when I went from my momo champion to the monte carlo 320mm

The first pic is of a 350mm wheel, the one you have is a 320mm. Trust me, I have a 350mm and my friend has a 320mm, the 320 is thicker.
