What size and type of after market steering wheels are you guys using. I need a smaller one as it hard to get into the car with the big stock one. Any pics you have of an after market one would help.

Over the past 4 years of daily driving my car, I've gone through 3, yes 3 MOMO steering wheels, and finally settled on my ABSOLUTE favorite, courtesy of a good friend. All of them have been 350mm wheels.
This was the wheel my car came with, and to be honest, it was the most comfortable for hand position, and such, but I didn't feel it matched the vintage racer theme I was going for in my car

This one wasn't really a MOMO indy wheel, but it was more like a wooden Prototipo. I do regret selling this one off, as it was an awesome wall hangar, but needed the money to buy my current prototipo.

My absolute favorite steering wheel in the history of mankind is my Prototipo, which I'll have to take a picture of tomorrow. Yes, I know it's a steering wheel, but I'm weird like that. It's dated 1978, and has a worn-in feeling like an old pair of boots. I think Magnus Walker has a similar fascination with vintage Leather steering wheels..

Looks nice but seems a little thin to me so I'm thinking of trying a leather or padded poly wheel. Of course I've been thinking this for about 15 years so we'll see...

Cool Dino, I have a small diameter black one in the same style. That wheel would look sweet in a long-hood 911!
