    I am looking for dimensions in mm of stock steering wheel.

    I'd do this myself, but I am still overseas. TY

    Looking to get the MOMO, and need a reference. They have a 330mm and 350mm

    My '98 stock wheel is about 375~380mm (I assume they measure the extreme outside diameter)

    Stock is 380mm

    The best size to replace it with is a 350mm.

    320mm is way too small for a street car.

    I would recommend the 350mm diameter wheel in whatever design you prefer. It is smaller than the airbag stock, significantly lighter and makes the steering feel more agile. Importantly, it doesn't cause any significant gauge obscuration issues. The quick release hub was added purely to bring the wheel closer to me. A slight reach to the indicator and wiper stalks is a small sacrifice for a more comfortable driving position.

    It can all be returned to stock in 15 minutes if required.

    I agree, I too am looking to bring the steering a little closer to me and a quick realease is what I was thinking of going with.

    Just make sure you get a good quality, race-spec unit with no flex in the mechanism.

    I have this one fitted but I am sure there are plenty of good ones out there. Painted both it and the Hills hub adaptor the same matt black as the steering column shroud.
