Let's talk steering wheels...

[class67]

I have a Billet Specialties steering wheel now that used to match my wheels but since I have changed my wheels out for some Rushforths, I want to get rid of the street roddish half wrap and get a wheel to really hold onto and grip....

So what steering wheels are out there and what have you got? (with pics if you have em)??

Not to hijack this topic, but I've been on the lookout for a nice looking (similar to the Momo) steering wheel around 14.5 to 15" in diameter. If anybody knows of one, I'd love to see it!

Excellent choice for diameter and I recommended that James Shipka upsize to a 15" diameter wheel for the One Lap car. He had a Momo shipped to us and we hope to get it installed this weekend. I'll have to find the P/N or maybe James can get it for you. It's a very nice wheel.

Personally, I find the 14" diameter steering wheels and under are too small. A 15" wheel also allows you to see the gauges better.

Perfect, I'd love to get a PN for that. Thanks!

Inexpensive by comparison to that Momo James bought, I use the 15" diameter Grant GT wheels (black wrapped) on both of my Camaros.

That Momo is quite cool and I would have ordered that had I known it was available. I'll see if I can find the P/N for it.

There's a method to this madness and the reason I like a larger diameter steering wheel is it keeps me centered in the seat during turns. My shoulders should be the base for turning, not the elbows and forearms, and my 15" wheel is about the same width as my shoulders are apart. You lose your seat position if you're madly trying to turn a smaller diameter wheel in tight corners and slaloms. You collapse at the waist due to your elbows compressing abainst your ribcage or tummy area and it's almost impossible to maintain that "9-3" hand position without crossing over the "12-6" centerline during turns. A larger diameter wheel really makes steering a lot easier.

This is only my opinion but one I'm sticking with after years of autocrossing ... LOL.

I wish they made the same wheels they do in 13.75 in 15 inch sizes.

Seems like newer cars use about a 14.5 inch wheel. Doesn't sound like much but it is a noticeable difference from my GTO to my daily driver.

What about Shutt?

Do you guys with the odd shaped wheels instead of round like them for autocrossing? It seems to me that it would be ok for road racing but the autocross requires a lot more precision and multiple grip placement rather quickly and sometimes letting the wheel slide in your hand as it goes back to center making you have to move your grip with the offset of the different shape.

Maybe Mary Pozzi has used both in all of the cars she has driven and would have a good opinion?

I'm running a Shutt with satin Black center...




I get compliments on it all the time compared to the "street rodder" half wrap I had previous... seemed like only little kids thought it was cool
Jon @ Drivers Inc. hooked it up and the adapter... excellent service!

I've been looking at getting an OMP, specifically the Corsica wheel, looks to be the same as Momo and Sparco, but a whole lot cheaper.

It comes in leather and suede, in multiple color combos. My Fav:
