So what's everyones preferred steering wheel and size? The 320-350 range seems most popular. Favorite brand out of nrg, momo, sparco?

The dowels in my steering column won't stay in. So ill be getting a new column(same price as parts to fix). Plan on a new steering wheel while I'm at it.

Most on here seem to favor Momo, since their suede models are a little less costly than the rest, and are of the same or maybe even better quality (IF there aren't all made in the same Italian factory anyway? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dunno.gif) ).

I have a 330 mm diameter Sparco R 383 on my 4th gen. I would have gotten a 350 mm wheel except that Sparco does not offer a thick rimmed, anatomically shaped, suede covered wheel in that Momo Monte Carlo/mod 78-like spoke pattern/configuration in that size.
The rim on the Momo mod 78 (which is the most popular one on here) is just WAY TOO THIN for my liking.
I may try the Personal Grinta suede when this one wears out/matts down, since I believe it can be had in 350 mm diameter in this style.

I was once told by ace Pro Rally driver and instructor Tim O'Neil that a less than 350 mm diameter wheel would throw your hands right off of the wheel on rough rally stage roads at speed, and those cars are mostly MUCH smaller and lighter than what we're pushing around, albeit on MUCH smoother roads/courses (hopefully!), and no torque steer to contend with either.

I would therefore guess that at least a 350 mm diameter wheel is preferred for our rides, despite the power steering.
I have NO IDEA how those in GT-1/Trans Am/SPO/etc. cars make do sans power steering, and with 320 mm and smaller diameter steering wheels. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/gr_confused.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/gr_eek2.gif)
