Hi all just asking what size steering wheel u all use in a 7 type car.


eccsmk - 24/5/09 at 07:49 PM

mine is 320mm but it depends what your looking for really
i had a 280mm one before fitting my quick rack but it was really hard to steer at low speeds and a bit twitchy when i got to 60

how big are you? alot of the larger chaps, hieght and width, sometimes have problems with leg room and getting in and out.

personally i think the 320mm wheels are too big, the 10" wheels (250mm) seem to be very popular, i have one, but i want to go smaller with a 9", plenty of room if you combine it with a flat bottom steering wheel, known as a d-shape wheel or d-wheel

i had a 250mm d wheel, loved the steering feel with it but it felt a bit small in my hands. was also to small to fit my digidash behind it. just fitted a 290mm momo 27.feels much better to hold, i'll see whats its like to drive with at croft tomorrow.

hi,

I have a 250mm momo with flat bottom in the avon with quick rack.
feels superb on the track- very f1 but is
heavy and a bit too sharp on the road,
but you cant have everything- go for small for the track
