Makes me wanna go out and measure my dino wheel, it's quite a bit smaller than stock. That's a cheap price, if you're looking for a wheel that large

That wheel is really similar (looking) to the Nardi Sport Rally Deep Corn (I have no idea what a "corn" is in this context, nor why it would be deep). It's available in a 330mm and a 350mm. Nardi wheels are extremely well made, and not terribly expensive.

There are 2 versions of the 4 spoke steering wheel. My old car had the 'sport' 4 spoke steering wheel which measures 360mm. This is the only one I've ever seen and was an option (don't know the code for it though). Nice and small and still stock.

New Momo Prototipo is 350mm. I believe there were some larger ones a long time ago, but I've never seen one in the wild.
The Momo Retro is 360mm. I have one available. I also have another Momo that looks similar to the the Retro which is 370mm. It doesn't have the finger grips like the Retro and the grip is larger in diameter too.
380mm would be too big - it's like driving a truck and clearance between the wheel and your legs becomes an issue if you're a normal sized person. The biggest factory wheel that I've found is 370mm. The 968CS wheel is around 365mm. After having wheels in my 951 from 330mm to 375mm, my opinion that the right sized wheel for a car with power steering is 360-365mm. For a car with manual steering, 365-370mm. If you have power steering and use a 350mm steering wheel, you really do need at least a 1" spacer to get your hands away from the steering column switches. Even then I feel the wheel is too small.

I'm guessing that most "modern" cars would use a 350mm wheel because that's about all I see when I shop, and you can find some pretty good deals on them. Do we really need 360-370mm in these cars? I'm a big guy, so clearance can be a bit tight, plus I don't think strength of working the smaller wheel would be an issue.
What are you guys who race 944's with power steering using for wheel sizes?
