steering wheel

[luaq]

I don't think this has been asked before and I've been searching around already.

I'm planning on buying an aftermarket steering wheel soon, and I was wondering what the differences between a deep-dish and a normal one were- other than the distance in depth. I've noticed some deep-dish wheels were labeled with "rally" ,so I thought maybe they offer a bit more control in "turn intensive" situations where there's a lot of back-to-back turns? I'm going to be particularly using the wheel for drifting.

I'm probably over analyzing this, and it could be just personal preference after all, but I just wanted to get nico's opinions on this.

thanks

deep dish= gayness,

deep dish= hotness,

Fixed that for you.

Deep dish means it sits closer too you.

Rally is just a differnt style, its a company thing. It all depends on what you like.

i dont mind deep-dish myself..friend has one in his S14 and its really nice. i think i'd get something in between the normal and deep-dish..get the better of both worlds ya know?

btw, what brand are you getting?

Im 6' 2", so I have my seat slid pretty far back, and I have it leaned back a little too so my head doesn't rub the roof. I need the wheel as close as possible.

so much more comfy now that i have a deep steering wheel with quick release. i get to straighten my legs a bit and just a bit of recline on the seat and the wheel is right there. only thing now is to bring my shift knob back a bit and i would be golden.

the closer the better. nrg short hub with v2 quick release and deep corn wheel= perfect

i have a deep dish wheel that feelz great, it gives you more knee room for shifting and driving...some advice from my bad luck, use a ball bering* quick release hub because my locking button on my old cheap hub broke and i had to check if it was secure every 20 seconds instintively, have a spare wheel.....people think it's the funniest thing to remove and hid your wheel......imagin how mad that can get you lol i'm a good sport though, college can be a b*tch at times but now i keep an extra just incase, and Horn buttons are more expensive then you would like to pay!!! also wanted to add cheap quick release hubs are a beeOch to connect and disconnect the horn!

some also decrease in circumfrence/diameter. i bought a s***ty ebay steering wheel cuz mine was chewed to s***. its definately smaller. which is nice. suddenly i dont feel like im driving a school bus...

[sjbsuperman1425]

[FRnIsmO]

im with flat black ian on this. im 6'4 and my seats all the way back and the seats leaned back so i'd take a deep dish so its closer. wish i could slide back the shift knob to!

[FRnIsmO]

dude, just get one of these! [IMG][/IMG]

[adrianfromthecastle]

closer = better

and for motorsport reasons, it means less driver arm fatigue.

I like my steering wheel close to me. Everytime I drive a car with a stock wheel, I feel like a vato driving with one arm, haha

his wheel isn't name brand either lol its ebay with a nissan logo in the middle, along with his short shifter and exhaust! i do like your wheel though, im going for a wheel inbetween normal and deep dish.

[FRnIsmO]

thanks lol me2!!! i had to get the ebay knock off of the b and G short shifter lmaO the others kept slipping out and as for the the wheel, the horn prolly cost more but it's a visual and comfert upgrade, security too but i think someone can always find a way to steel your s***, unless they want it for a joy ride, lost a crx because someone thought it looked fun before and for the record, if you don't have power steering like i didn't for a while and a stiff bucket you can loosen the bolts on the steering wheel dude, i used it to help me get out the tight a** seat lol

call it stylish or ricey, it's still not making the car faster right?
