Default CPZ - Thicker Steering Wheel - Yes or No?

I haven't seen it - how does it differ from the regular wheel (other than being thicker?). FWIW, I have large hands (XL glove size)?

Is it worth it? ($675)

Thanks

The Thicker Steering wheel is very cool, not sure about the $675. Only you would know it was thicker as you cannot tell visually.

Most folks probably could not tell, some can though. I too have larger hands and like the feel of a thicker wheel, but the value of the option is up to you.

The point for the thicker wheel has to do with muscle fatigue after a prolonged period of "spirited" driving. It's much easier to grip something in your hand with a bigger girth than one with a smaller one (that's what she said) Since this is a track car this option was offered.
