Default steering wheel - diameter?

i want a slightly smaller steering wheel, and the momo wheel i want comes in two different sizes; 12.6" (320mm) and 13.8" (350mm) . . . so . . .

how do i go about measuring the diameter of the steering wheel? is it measured from the outside of the ring to outside of the ring, or from the inside of the ring to the inside of the ring?

tia!

You want 350mm, 320mm is small, 300mm is really small!

well, i guess my question is, how much smaller is 350mm compared to the stock wheel?

320mm seems good, albeit small.

I like the fighter myself. The black on dull silver looks sweet. That's the one I would run if I didn't care for an airbag wheel.

I use the OMP Quadro wheel and it's 330 mm. In the most upright position, it will allow you to still see the guages unimpeded. That's as small as I would go (but it depends on how low your seat is...)

i was looking at that wheel, too. i like the flat bottom . . .

i have a recaro SRD, and have ordered some vision 'super-low' rails (yes, that's a technical term ), so the seat will be about 1-1.5" below stock.

how much is that OMP wheel? and do you feel it's too small? i like the have the wheel as low as possible, but i'm still concerned about seeing, well, at least 90% of the guages.
