So I'm in the market for a Nardi Deep Corn steering wheel. My question for all of you is what size do I get? I was thinking 330mm but I have read other places that it's too small. But then again I'm a little guy as well, AZN son! Does anyone have pics of the oem 350mm and 330mm side by side?

Why don't you make two circles out of paper. One 330mm and the other 350mm and figure out what YOU like side by side.

Or you can not post in my thread if you don't have anything constructive to say. Way to get your post count up.

Construction paper sounds constructive enough

^^ dude, stop sh*tting in other peoples threads. its rude and unnecessary. The guy has a valid question and is looking for opinions. Just be glad it isn't one of those "which engine should I get" threads.

OP... I have a 360mm nardi classic, and honestly, I love the feel. imo, if your in to drifting, I know that some people prefer a larger wheel than a smaller one for more control. Autox guys will tell you the opposite and tell you to get a smaller wheel for less rotation... but its all on personal preference.

Normal steering wheels in an average car are like 380+ mm just to give you an idea.

330mm is like a go-kart. They are TINY. Way too small imo if you're going to daily your car.

My Nardi classic is like 370mm or something, and I love it. Not too small but still plenty manageable on the track.

Just trace out a circle on a piece of paper or something with that diameter and see what you like. Compare it to your current wheel, or one in that of another car. It really isn't that tough.
