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! |

(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! |

Thanks! sure you can come drive it. be careful though. sera's my baby. the prototipo is more round and has a corner where the wheel meets the spoke. the monte carlo is wider front to back and thinner side to side and transitions ergonomically into the spoke. the prototipo is suede and the monte is a soft leather. come check mine out if you'd like. its one of the more important things to get just the way you want it. |
