Which After Market Steering Wheel?

[Turner]

Im looking to change the steering wheel,which are the ones to go for?leather or suade,280mm or 320mm?

 

[Middo]

320mm - personal preference over material. i have leather and really like it, but suede would be better especially as my hands sweat like a mofo in summer

 

[Turner]

Yeah mine do on any long drive on standard wheel thats why thinking suede one?
would the 280mm be too small then,i guess it might obscure the dash dials if on the lowest steering wheel position

 

[fmp_]

i run a 350mm OMP wheel.

i think the 320mm would be ok if you like smaller wheels.

the 280mm in my opinion would be too small.

and like said material is personal choice. Mine is suede, had leather in the past, prefer the suede!

Got myself a 330mm Sabelt suede wheel, at first it felt very small but now it feels just right.

 

[Turner]

320mm sounds like the right size ish then,
What the standard wheel diameter?

[Peperami]

Lol,Nooo not a power ranger,more like a transformer?

 

[Peperami]

Gt_gaz had a good one in his cup. You'd like it i think, pm him.

 

[Turner]

Thanks dan,ive been looking at them on various site and they all vary in price a hell of alot what do you think i should pay for one with boss?£150ish?

 

[Turner]

Do you need to purchase a horn button for them as well?

 

[Peperami]

Think mine was about that mate. Yeah they'll all come with horn button.

I like this one too

 

[Peperami]

Thats tiny! 323 is the same wheel as 383 minus the thumb grips. Think mines 330mm

 

[Turner]

Are these alot smaller than standard then?whats standard wheel daimeter like 400mm?

 

[Budgie]

Peperami, YHPM.

 

[Peperami]

Ah yeah, little while ago lol. £100.

 

[Turner]

^^^??

 

[Fear]

Im also in the market for a new wheel!

Ive been having the same thoughts on wuhich material to go for, ive currently got a suede sparco jobbie, but it is really worn and abit small for my liking, also its not a circle shape it makes so sterring trickier than it should be!

I think im gonna go for another suede sparco one, but round and bigger, if it wears again quickly then il get it re trimmed in leather!

 

[Turner]

Whats the one you have?fancy selling it and i could get it retrimmed?

 

[Peperami]

Will cost you as much to have it re-trimmed, as it would to buy a new one!

The suede does wear quickly.

 

[Fear]

Yeh not worth buying a 2nd hand one to re trim enless you wanted a specific colour or material.

I will more than likely get what ever one i have at the time i change seats and get it re trimmed to match, but for now i just want a better finish!

ive got no decent pics of the wheel only this:

 

[Fear]

looking at it i think the one ive got is this one:

http://www.xlraceparts.com/sparco-353-661-p.asp

didnt think about it having no horn button room as ph1 has it on the stalk!

 

[Spark]

momo team 280mm, thats what im going for when time comes round.

 

[Turner]

i was thinking the 280mm size but apparently there very small?

 

[Ad]

Ive got an OMP trecento or summit like that. its 280 and its awesome. Really pleased with it.

 

[fmp_]

my OMP wheel:

 

[d4ve86]

Clio 197 wheel

 

[Turner]

they look good chaps,what size are they as the omp one looks bigger than the sabelt one?

 

[geesus69]

Clio 197 wheel

ive been looking at the sparco 300 wheel aswell

but where did you get the 197 wheel D4ve? and how big is it? looks tiny lol

 

[nicknick]

Anyone got pics of sparco/omp suede wheels in ph1 172's?

I'm worried about the black wheel not matching the blue interior!?
