Awesome, thanks mate. Yeah, stock Momo without the cover.

My list after viewing this thread..

1) Sparco 330 Suede (the phatness)
2) Nardi 330 Classic (timeless look)

While we are on the subject.. Is it illegal to install non-airbag steering wheel on a car with airbag steering wheel?

We currently have an Autotechnica (I think) 350mm woody on it, but I don't like it, it doesn't look anywhere near as good as the stock NA6 with the horn pad on.

I was tempted to buy a 383 Sparco suede, but prefered the feel of the 330, only downside is I cant see all my gauges properly, need a lower seat >:D

Does anyone have trouble seeing their instruments with the smaller wheel and a stock seat?

I have a Sparco Sprint V on stock rails in my NB and its still obscures the dash slightly with my wheel. So with a stock seat I can see it being much worse...

I'm the same. Unfortunately it was the lesser of two evils for me. With a larger wheel (stock) I could barely fit my legs under the wheel. Getting in and out was a pain and some corners were made difficult when turning the wheel. At the end of the day I know what speed I'm doing roughly by what gear I'm in and what the revs are at so it's not an issue.

I know what you mean but I still have the tendency to bend my neck and check, plus I had a mate done for 1kmh over the other week. Don't want to lose my licence over something as dumb as that.

OK so we took off the woodie, and put the stock wheel back on. Until last week, when we put on a wheel that blends perfectly with the rest of the car...
