How big is yours?
I have one that's 255mm and one that's 350mm. My wife says one's too small and the other 'feels' too big!!
How big is yours?
I'm talking about steering wheel size of course!! And what make/model have you gone for?

11" with the optional squashy pad for the centre. Might move up to a 12" if I find another I like.

I think 12" is about proportianly right for a 7.

Ditto - sometimes after a run the 11" wheel feels a bit small and I have aching forearms

I fitted a 13" SWM wheel and collapsible boss for SVA. Got thro' no probs. Wheel has no holes or slots in the spokes (SVA said they would
fail it if it did) and the external rad on spokes is over 2.5mm.
I did have the Sierra wheel on at first but failed on height, it was the SVA man who said what i could use instead in terms of smaller wheel.
The wheel is a good size for the car. I dont like the very small wheels. After SVA i fitted a snap off kit - highly recommended. No slogger like you
can get with the £50 hex style removable kits.
