What (mm) diameter wheel are you people using. Can anyone detail advantages or disadvantages between bigger and smaller wheels. I've heard different things track vs. autox etc. Just curious,thanks for any info.

 

I like them small, 330mm is a good size.

The smaller ones seem easier to handle. Once you go small, you'll never go back.

I'm so used to my small one that when I touch a friend's bigger one, it just doesn't feel right.

 

ummm...reid???

 

It's so true.

Once I get used to constantly handling a small one, the big ones feel almost as if they're just too big to handle. Whenever I'm touching a big one it just makes me long for my small one.

Marc, try a small one.

 

steering wheel?

 

What else would we be talking about?

You do read the titles of the threads before clicking on them right?

 

yeah yeah

secretly trying to see if i could assist in burning down another one

ordering a 330 right now...

 

See pic here

330 mm works good.

what size is the stock steering wheel? like 380mm? i'm guessing

 

 

350

 

Nice,I was certainly suprised to see 9 replies already,plus a photo. I didnt' expect a steering wheel topic to turn into some underlying sexual chit chat
Thanks though. I was looking at the "spoon" wheel,the Momo Monte Carlo and it only comes in 320mm & 350mm. Do you guys think 320mm is too small?,it's only 10mm smaller.

 

can any after market wheel be made to be removeable, for theft security reaosns

 

Spoon wheel is really too close to the stock diameter to be worthwhile, mainly because it's leather like a stock wheel.

If you go with a 350, I'd get something that has a different type of grip surface other than leather (like Yoshi's with the suede section).

Yoshi,is that the competition?champion? How do you like it? That's a suede top right? That's all,no more questions,thanks. Wheel looks good bye the way.

 

I have the monte carlo 350mm. i cant stand the go kart steering wheels

 

thanks
It's the MOMO Champion w/ suede top. I'm never going back to the stock wheel!

yshi - who needs to fix the horn

 

<..........Wants to know also.

 

same...... its a good deal smaller than stock and I love the soft leather grip
IMO its perfect

 

anybody know the easiest way to wire up the horn with a MOMO wheel ??

 

mount a grounding wire to the steering column.

 

Yes you can get a removeable latch for your steering wheel. While it makes it slightly harder to steal your car they won't need a steering wheel when they have a flatbed.

I have a 330 mm Sparco Ring. The car is fun to drive but since i have no power steering I have been building muscles in places i never knew i had. I agree that once you get a smaller diameter steering wheel everything else seems like a school bus.

 

they cant steal it with a flat bed if i know how to park my ITR right, and with my wheels turned to lock ...can they now...haha *evil grin*

 

 

suede will get shiny after about 6 months due to the oil from your hands.

a brass brush will usually restore the nap of the suede - but eventually the suede gets hard and smooth.
