Hence why you now see Momo steering wheels on factory cars with airbags such as the WRX. At the end of the day, aftermarket steering wheels are for race use only and a bonus we could have them on street cars.

It looks like the same size as what's in my NB8A? I do say \"look\" though. Pictures can be deceiving.

The classico?
if it is... could you point me in the right direction?

the 350mm ones are fine for me... unless my tape measure lies or i sucks at measuring... tahts the stock size right?
350 mil gives me good weighting... plus its not a complete b!7ch when youre parrallel parking...for me anyway...

picture a wiry asian kid... :oops:
