I'm looking at getting an aftermarket steering wheel, and am unsure what size to go.
The standard wheel is 380mm diameter, and the ones I'm looking at are 350mm and 330mm, and was wondering how much of a difference the downsize will make on steering, control, comfort etc.

Also wondering what size everyone else has ....if it's not too personal.

Hare's a pics of my wheel - I reckon its too hard to drive with pinpoint accuracy with a small wheel ....





.... might have to fit a slightly larger one for Trackdays - I'm having trouble cornering smoothly with this one

What size is that one Juzza?

I was looking at a very similar style to that one, but it's only 330mm .....which is what's stopping me buying it at the moment.

I dunno Man !!! - I've only had the car for 2 Days !!! - I'll measure it tomorrow for ya !!!!!

It's got those "Thumb Snappers" on it which scare me silly too
- I had a nasty incident with a Gutter (only moving at 3kph too) that nearly broke my wrist and thumb once with similar wheel
You just have to drive 'em 'thumbs out' 4WD drive style when parking sometimes

Make sure you're strapped in when parking.

Those gutters can be dangerous!

I think it has to be over 350mm to be legal... wouldn't really want it any smaller than that anyway as Juzza says.

you have a big problem with gutters juzza even worse when you turned to the dark side.I'm begging to think you can't handle a TURBO!

The v8 (tame version) was enough for you.

Well it sounds like there was action everywhere BUT where we stayed (apart from the single bed thing).
Something strange was going on at Sam's, and something even stranger in the shed.
