320mm 330mm or 350mm steering wheel?
what do you guys recommend for a nice street steering wheel? i'm looking for either a MOMO monte carlo, personal, or dino 02 probably. i'm still trying to decide on size and i am leaning toward 330mm or 350mm.
it's on a car just for street driving so i wanted to get some experienced input.
thanks!

I've used MOMO Monte Carlo 350 mm for 24 some years. Great wheel!

I've got the 330mm. I really like it. It makes the car more "flickable". It steers a lot faster. I always thought the stock wheel was to big for a sports car.... Its a throw back from the manual rack in the early 944s.
Also, the few people that have driven my car hate the small wheel.... So I guess it depends on how you drive, and what you want from a wheel. The smaller wheel is noticeably harder to turn, as well. Its not difficult by any means, but I wouldn't want to drive my car without power steering either.

I've got a small (Momo) wheel. Great for the track, but I can't see my gauges very well at all. When I need to take a peek, I literally have to duck my head down a little to see them. On the other hand, my thighs hit the wheel in my street car, so I wouldn't mind it a bit smaller. I'm pretty short, 5'8", though, for reference to the last point.

A lot of people have trouble seeing the gauges with the smaller wheels. I'm built oddly. I have short legs, and a tall torso, so when I sit in the car, my head almost touches the roof..... too long of story short... I find it easier to see the gauges with the small wheel. I can see up over it better. The stock wheel blocked my view...

I've got the same horn button, used with a scratch or two that I'd let go for $26 shipped if you're interested.
Re: wheel size, I recently switched from the 3-spoke wheel to the 4-spoke wheel. The 4-spoke is a little bit smaller than the 3-spoke and I was amazed at the difference in steering reaction/feel.
The smaller wheel feels a lot better to drive with than the slightly larger wheel IMO. I have a de-powered rack so the ratios aren't ideal but it feels really good to me. The larger wheel made steering feel lazy in comparison.
