320mm is too small

Post by Jacques79 »

Just had my 320mm Momo Millenium wheel installed...it feels nice and all, but it blocks off half of my gauges....

Should of went for the 350mm :cry:

umm....thanks for the update?

I've always found 350 to be about perfect. The smaller ones feel nice, but if you ever need to see your cluster or get any torque on the wheel (I have no power steering) its a bit tough.

Hey I just never saw a 320mm steering wheel in a car, the guys at the shop just told me it might block a bit of the cluster...

Well I didn't know it would block more than 50% of the damn thing....

I learned my lesson, never more 320mm! (unless I can get a small digital speedo and rpm gauge)

Anyone know if there's something to do?

Its preference really. Between the Mugen N1 and the Nardi, I prefer the Nardi. The suede on the Nardi lasts a bit longer. Nardi also comes in the leather option.

I rock a 320mm and yes, you're right, it is a bit intrusive. However the driving feel is much better IMO. I have to move my Defi's from the cluster to the dash though. I can position the wheel so I can see the critical elements of the tach and speedo, which is nice.

I had a 350mm before and I enjoy driving with the 320mm much better.
