I'm confused. Why the hating on Momo?
Wheel to firm for personal preference?
350mm = 13.77". Wheel diameters seem within .25" of nominal which doesn't seem outrageous for a part that has a hand sewn leather covering.
I’ve had 914’s since the 70’s and have owned both the Monte Carlo and a Tuner wheel. They were a lot thicker and softer back then. Either they changed there recipe or these are cheap knock offs.
That's fair from an expectation point of view.
May certainly have changed. Virtually impossible to make the same rubber based foams as were used back then. Now stuff is low VOC, water based, soy based, etc. Have to be environmental friendly don't you know! Especially for EU made products.
Hoping you didn't get knock-offs as that certainly isn't what you bargained for.
Overall I agree with the previous comment. It is hard to shop virtually for things that are so sensitive to tactile senses like steering wheel, boots, etc. I did do a bit of searching before I posted, and do see there are comments on both Amazon and other Forums about some people not liking the firmness of Momo steering wheels.
No idea exactly what they might have changed since the 70's but I would bet the underlayment foam recipe has changed due to EU reg's.
