Gonna treat myself to a new steering wheel for xmas i think. Always liked the momo team one.However, can't choose between 280mm or 300mm.

Has anyone had any experiences of the different sizes?

Cheers, Pettsy

hi mate

I stuck with VAG parts and opted for an Audi S line leather wheel. Its larger than the OEM polo one and TBH I find it more comfortable a driving position and makes for slightly better driving.

Don't know if this is any help

can steering wheels with airbags be replaced with other airbags models that will function in an accident.

wouldnt mind changing to a nicer 1 but wouldnt wanna lose airbag..........

I dont get this "racing steering wheel" Lark, They always look horrible IMO. Cant beat a Coupe S steering wheel. Smallest polo wheel ever i think (355mm) GT ones are 360, most mk2 ones are 380!

But returing to the point, I think youll find 300mm more usable.

TBH I didn't change my wheel for the racing look. I was in the scrappies rooting under the Audi's bonnet for its oil pressure sensor and decided to sit in the cabin for a smoke break. The wheel caught my eye and felt good in my hands, so when the scrappy said he would sell it to me for Â£20 I bit his hands off

I got given this moutney steering wheel from a mate, think its a 320mm.
I own a mk2 golf without a power steering,i find it perfectly useable eben at low speed,also makes it feel like your driving a go-kart.

i kept the G40 steering wheel on my car for some time, it has a really nice feel! however, as i am 6ft5 i was struggling to get in and out of the car. winding down the window was also an issue, so i have now got my old steering wheel off my old car in there! much more comfortable for me and it means that when its been raining, i don't get two black marks on my trousers from where the wheel has been rubbing on them!
