Default steering wheel size

Wondering whats the norm for aftermarket steering wheels. Momo for instance has two sizes 12.6" and 13.8"..............I'm guessing the larger is more popular.

Here again for you...

Mine's the 350mm Momo Corse

Great wheel



The 320mm felt like a kid's wheel in my hands... Stock is around 14" The 350mm makes it much easier to get in and out.

Agreed - I had a smaller wheel which I used to replace the stock wheel. Recently I went with a 350mm Momo Monte Carlo. I like both the quality of the Momo and the 350mm size better than the stock wheel and the smaller "off brand" wheel (which was around 320mm). Also, with turning the speedo slightly I can see its full normally useful range easier than with the smaller wheel.

Some Countries/ States have minimum size requirements for wheels. (Definitely applies in AUS) The large momo size is legal, the smaller not. The Police tend to ignore it though in Porsches but pick up on anything if they are out to defect you.

This is a Momo Runner wheel & at 350mm is only around 20mm smaller than the standard wheels.
It's large enough to give enough leverage for a car without power steering but small enough to loose the truck like feel of large thin wheels.
