Usually the 350. the 325 tends to be REALLY tiny.

I've got a little grant wheel on my car which was there from the PO. Today I drove my friends 914 with the stock wheel. I didn't like it at all. My right leg would hit the wheel when I was trying to get his car into Reverse or First.

350MM.. It is way smaller than stock. It will block your gauge view some but thats expected. I can't imagine a 325mm

Can I get an "AMEN" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

350mm is what I have now (original racemark wheel) but I am thinking 325mm for the AX car... time for spinach!

Smaller wheel makes it easier to drive away with hand cuffs on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

that's the wheel I have, the flat bottom style. It has a good feel to it and is well priced.
The flat bottom is real nice getting in and out of the car. Also helps withwith braking and shifting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
