It sits almost the same as your stock wheel. It depends on what you run. For example, if you want to use a quick release, make sure to get a slim hub, this will bring the wheel to stock distance. If you're not using a quick release then most regualr hubs will sit like stock.

However, if you run a regular hub (momo) with a quick release, it will bring the wheel closer to the driver.

I just got my steering wheel in a few days ago, and I have to say a smaller wheel is the best thing I have done to my car in a long time! It really makes driving a lot more fun! I mainly wanted it so I could see all my gauges better, but it feels awesome.



The stock ABS steering wheel is 380mm, while this one i got is 320mm (actually I measured it at 315mm). Soooooo much better



It's the cheapest MOMO I could find in 320, called a Monte Carlo, with a MOMO hub. It sits just as close to me as the stock wheel.

Install is ******* simple, I got it from user 24ibuy on ebay for $239 shipped. I debated getting a quick release, but i really don't think I need it or the extra hassle or $$$

i have been debating this steering wheel project for the longest time...my buddy has a dc2 with an aftermarket wheel and it feels GREAT! and I know the stock wheel on the lude feels huge. What are the specs on turning with that wheel? i know the stock is like 2.9 or maybe 1.9 rotations (got them confused right now).

I don't think it changes the amount of turns, rather the amount of force needed to turn the wheel. A smaller wheel is harder to turn, but you have to move your hands a shorter distance to get the wheels to turn more.

Here's mine, the only hard part and it's not that hard, is making a horn contact for the hub.

you went for it but you didnt make it....i like to see yall come hop into our thread and start trying to diss on us....do you see us going and showing our "love" in your thread? I for one have yet to have any one ride in my car who didnt like the dash. the problem with you is your stuck inside the "box" (your ef). you need to think outside the "box" and give props when due specially to your big brother the prelude
