Hey guys....I did a search first with little success. I'd like to put an aftermarket steering wheel in. (Momo, Sparco, Grant, etc.) What diameter should I get and what offset to keep it in the same place as the stock wheel? I'm sure someone knows the right models. My seat is fixed, so I don't want the wheel to be much closer or further away than it currently is.

Want to get rid of that ugly and heavy stock wheel with the nut and horn wires exposed from where the airbas used to be! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Oh, and I know there is the Billingslye dummy cover....but I don't want that.

I have a Sparco Ring (leather not the suede one) and absolutely love it. I love it so much its currently installed in my brothers Integra for this Saturdays night autocross event (first event for the Integra and Camaro is down at the moment and being 'upgraded'.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) The horns weren't hard to do for either car, just easier to do on the integra (1 wire setup in Integra verses 2 wire setup for camaro).

I believe the Sparco Ring sits in the same position (maybe just a tad farther) as the stock one but so much better in control and grip. Plus I like the flat bottom of the wheel (useful for quick wheel position indication and control as well.) The grain pattern also matches the camaro's dash texture almost exactly too! I just wish I could put one in my Tacoma but it's my daily driver (with stupid airbag big diameter wheel... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ).
