Being 6'1", the stock wheel doesn't leave me much room to shift/steer, so I'm considering a smaller steering wheel... I know that I'll probably lose sight of portions of the gauges (I can't see parts of them now), I'm just trying to figure out how much smaller to go (which will be partially driven by styles and availability).
Stock is 380mm, and most of the after-market ones are 350mm; but, I've also found some at 320mm, 300mm, and 280mm. I recognize that the smaller you go, the more effort that will be required to steer... Thoughts/Suggestions? How small do I need to go to get the shifting/steering room I need? Thanks! |

QUOTE(tomamafone @ Mar 22 2007, 05:36 PM)  find someone with a 350mm and then drive it. you'll be surprised how much smaller it is. trust me on this. You volunteering your car? (kidding) So your Monte Carlo is a 350mm (since they're also available in 320mm)? You perfer it over the Prototipo for ?feel?, can you explain? Thicker/thinner wheel, smooth leather vs suede, etc...? Thanks! |
