Post what size steering wheel to get?

I just got a 300mm momo wheel off someone here on the board, but when it's on there it totally blocks my vision of the guages. What size did those of you who replaced your steering wheels go with? Can you see your guages well? I'd like to get a 930s wheel, but no way I can afford that.

I have a Grant wheel and it also blocks the outermost gauges. Mine is around 13 1/2" in diameter (I think). I'm pretty sure Momo makes a spacer you can use to move the wheel a little closer. I think that might help in seeing the gauges.

I have the 330mm (13") Sparco which also blocks the top portions of the gauges. I don't mind because I really like the size of the wheel for track use. 380mm is stock, 360mm is sport (930 wheel, and others), and 350mm is the largest standard aftermarket wheel. 350mm is probably the best "sport" size that doesn't completely block the gauges. 360mm is the minimum to allow like-stock viewing.

Good Luck!

hmm...I actually saw a 360mm momo wheel earlier that looked pretty nice, so I might go with that. But you say 350mm should serve me pretty well? I'm most interested in seeing the whole speedo & tach, as well as the gas & oil gauges. If I have to move my head to see my temp & battery gauges that'll be fine. Actually I could probably even look over the wheel to see those two.
