Lol … Ouch.

I think it’s a nice addition. Also, anything bigger and I’d never get under it.

I have tried a number of different steering wheels in my cars and have found that with modern wide tires the size of steering that works best and is more comfortable is 360-375 mm (14.25-14.75 inches) and there are a fairly high number of choices in that size that looks great

I have a Grant Challenger in the SR20 car , The foam rim is surprisingly comfortable and it's a nice wheel ,I just find it a bit small at 340mm(13.5") 10mm more would be perfect


This is my Old Nardi 375mm in Mrs Blue , very nice but thin grip


I sold the Nardi and replaced it with this beautiful Momo California 360mm , they make it both in wood and leather


And by far my favourite obviously my custom modified early wheel which was remade with African Mahogany and reduced to 365mm with matching shift knob

Whistler 41 MEGUIAR'S Natural Shine Interior Dash & Trim Protectant

Pjackb, both the California and the modified stock wheels are truly beautiful.

What was the name of the online store that sold the different Nardi horn buttons and the adapters? I loved that site! I had a Nardi Turismo with Datsun button on my car #132 and loved it.

I used the Grant 1760 wheel. It's a 15" wheel that clears my long legs. I like the looks of it very much.

Sorry fellow Canuck

The one in my 67.5 is beat... yours at least looks clean.

I quite like the competition wheel

Momo competition wheel . 350mm

I like the look of that Grant wheel. Just added it to the DOCX file for the future!!!

It's recommend to have a cushy crash pad / horn button on 311s

I really like that one. The grip looks pretty thick around, which is what I'll be looking for.

Just posted a very nice Momo Wheel in For Sale section. FWIW Pat
