    14"? Don't you mean 350mm ;) (but that's not too small for a road car -- I use a 320mm.)

    Hello Steve....All I had was an 'inch' tape measure. Back home it would be 355.6mm ;) it is a great dimension
    for a road car, except for the very heavy V12 without P/S. but not the racing versions.
    320mm, on which car?
    Most Momo thick gripped wheels of the era were 350mm, JS, for instance. the hottest selling wheel of the 70's
    Half my Alfa have that size.
    I cry when I think how many original wheels ended in the trash, to change to Momo, and now we are all looking for 'originals. Yikes.

    Regards, Alberto

    On my TR -- it does take some arm strength in low-speed garage/driveway/parking lot maneuvers ;), but I need it to fit, and it lets me not tilt the steering wheel way up like it is set on most TR plus it gives a nice, quick action at higher speeds:

    Momo has some 300mm steering wheels, but those are getting very "go-kart" size.

    That Monza is a great looking wheel. I have a late-'70s 350mm Momo Clay Regazzoni signature wheel which seems to be based on a Prototipo 'S' wheel. It looks quite similar, but not identical, to the Dino M-series wheels. Nice thing is it has some dish to it, which helps alleviate the "Italian driving position" a bit.
