Hi,

Looking into changing steering wheel...
wanted your opinion on Grant wheels, good/bad, what to look for, etc.

From what I can tell, the obvious difference is the 5-bolt (Grant) vs 6-bolt for the others.

was thinking on 1 of the 2 models (if I go Grant) ... both are 350mm

Otherwise, I'll go w/ Momo wheels w/ similar design:

I wanted a little bit of contrast without looking too ricer-ish... I have the grey/black f1 wheel:

I'm fine with the looks/quality, but it is a vinyl wheel and it certainly leaves something to be desired in grip and feel. It is a heck of a lot cheaper though. I really like the size though I wish it had a little more set back. From the looks of it I figured it would be an inch+ further back from the factory wheel, but it's at most a 1/2" offset.

Gloves will help with that a lot. We use batting gloves. They're fairly light, well-ventilated (which is important where we autocross), easy to find, and cheap compared to other 'driving' gloves out there. They're not nomex gloves, but we're not even looking for those.
