preferences on steering wheels

[M11's]

What do you guys prefer suede or leather material - the suedes would be better controlling wheels right? Also for those with Nardi deep dish how big is the difference in the 350mm and 330mm - noticeable?

[Brian]

Nardi classic 330 black/black.


The best of the best right there.

[sw20>>s14]

im not too into the whole wheel thing so ive been satisfied with my 350 momo race and 350 monte carlo...i would argue that any 350mm to 330mm is a big difference...and suede is not my cup of tea...gets really nasty, really fast because lets face it, youre not always driving around in tsuchiya gloves...and if you are, stop...

[udon!]

i would suppose people that are bigger would want a smaller wheel. you should look into the hella baller vertex steering wheels.

suede wears out fast and looks ugly quicker but better grip. leather is better in my opinion unless ur a track only guy or something

330mm and 350mm is deff noticeable. 330 feels like ur driving a little toy car to me

i have one forsale if your interested ;)

I like my Nismo 350mm in leather. Thinking of getting a 330mm and having it wrapped in suede for track use only. :D

Suede is fine if you don't mind wearing gloves every time you drive. Sweat and oils from your hands will wear down the suede pretty quick. Leather is best for a daily driver.

[bigOdom1]

i want a nismo wheel but ended up getting a personal neo eagle instead. i like it a lot but that nismo wheel is what i really want. the only place i found that had it was kinda unknown so i didn't take the chance. mind letting me know where you got yours?

[M11's]

i got a cheap ass wheel thats always slipping nice leather wheels like nardi or momo got grip right

[CrimsonRockett]

I had a Vertex wheel not too long ago.

Not my cup of tea. Felt really light and cheap for some reason.

Had a Nardi Classic 350mm first. Pretty good.

Now, have two Nardi Deep Corn 350mm wheels in leather(one for the daily, one for the project).

Absolutely love them.

[DreamN]

What's the rage about deep corns? I find them uncomfortable and odd looking. I really prefer the flat spoke design.

[HyperTek]

your 19, in a few years you wont care and see how silly this is lol

Dont go suede it wont last forever

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

the vertex wheel looks like it came out of the same factory as those cheap ass $30 ebay dish wheels. i dunno. i'm a personal fan of the nardi gara and momo monte carlo.

You probably found it uncomfortable because you're as tall as this guy.

[DreamN]

:rofl: well, I'm only 5'8", but I just didn't like it at all when I had one. I sold it within a week or so of buying it. With the profit I made I bought a Nismo wheel :D

[Dousan_PG]

2 wheels

330 leather for street
330 suede for track (wearing gloves)

[silviaguy240]

yea get leather, i like my suede but it was a mistake for my car being a DD when it was running. i want to get a leather for street but that means i need another QR...

[Ninjabread]

I've always been a 350mm guy, feels like more control than a 330 go-kart steering. Leather is good too. Deep/flat doesn't matter to me, so long as the wheel is the right distance from me.

[tricky_ab]

A birdie told me that I might be getting one for Christmas! Anyways, I prefer leather to suede (unless it's a full on track car and you're wearing gloves). And for me I prefer the smaller wheel...Dish is not a big factor just as long as it's not right in my chest.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

nardi classic leather 350

I don't think i would like a wheel any smaller.

[Dousan_PG]

i used to think that too
till i got a 330
and ill never trade back.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

meh, if i find one in better condition than mine i'll look into it :p

[burnsauto]

I'm more of a 350mm guy. (DD car)

but for me, its not just the wheel that does it, its part of the entire setup I have as far as my position in the car. I'm 6'1", so heel toe can be an issue on a stock seat/wheel setup (my knee hits the back of the wheel too often.

short hub/quick release
nardi perf. leather 350mm (feel great and won't look like shit like suede will after a few years of use)
recaro speed seat.

a dished wheel will def effect you're seating position, even without a quick release, so keep that in mind when you shop around.

Just for reference, the stock wheel is about 360mm.

[ms!3]

i like dished wheels since im tall.

using a sparco 325 right now. 350 mil.

[revat619]

+ 900353821358 for nardi 330 in leather. Great wheel and perfect size.

you should buy the one i have for sale.

godzila used to (might still) sell color wheels. i like mazoria.

[his180sx]

Ive had a ton of wheels. 2 Nardi classic 360, Nardi Deep corn 350, Vertex 330 deep, Omp suede 350, momo 350, Nardi black/black 330(my favorite hands down).

[drift freaq]

LOL all you guys talking about 350mm wheels, if its a Nardi classic leather your running its a 360mm.

350mm leather Nardi Classic's were never sold in the U.S. I had one I got it used from Japan.
I found it in a box of over 30 360mm classics.

I sold it not realizing how rare it was, and that I could not buy one new here. LOL oh well.

The deep corns are availible in 350mm, but I like DreamN do not like them.

350mm is my favorite size. 330mm feels to small to me.

Steering wheels are a personal thing. Which means just because I like it, does not mean you will like it.
In the end you have to figure out if you like it. You will be the one using it.

[FaLKoN240]

Hmmm I wonder if I should try out a 330.

I've never used one.

But I HATE the spoke design of the deep CONE Nardi in that size.

[!Zar!]

I'm running a Tomei 350 and some JDM deep cone glow in the dark wood shit that is a 350 as well.

I ran a Nardi deep corn 330 for a short while. I hated it. I could never go anything bigger/smaller than a 350.

Next wheel I plan on getting is a Vertex once I go grab it. Feels shitty? Personally I didn't think so. Aren't they the same as Keys racing wheels?

Yeah, I believe the Keys and Vertex wheels are made by ATC.

[randyjordan]

all black nardi 330 in leather is probly the best steering wheel i've ever had

also had one of those jdm steering wheels in pink, not so bad, it just dents and cracks.

also driven my buddies car with the mooneyes in white, not so bad, just feels like the wheel itself is a lil skinny, maybe its just my big hands : \

[zenki.life]

i have one of those vertex wheels. i really do love it, buuut......i would suggest a short hub as it sticks out really far and is uncomfortable that way.

[Kaizen.]

^ I got a vertex 330 with short hub. I think its perfect.

had a nardi 330 deep corn, than went with vertex because i got full vertex kit and offset on the nardi wasnt low enough =)

[nathanong87]

pleather/leather > suede.

i have a leather nardi 330 deep corn and like it alot + wb hub + nrg v2.0 QR.

bride zeros are really deep, so i needed the full size hub+ QR vs slim hubs

sucks for using turn signals though. =|

[pinkarrowsnow]

personal neo grinta 330mm leather i love it

[usdm180sx]

Ive always went with a 320 mm momo monte carlo because of the thicker wheel and the anatomic design. Its so awesome and comfy.

[R33E8]

Sorry, but what's the point of an aftermarket steering wheel on a street driven car?

I like my stock steering wheel, I think almost all aftermarket steering wheels look ricey as hell.. It's nice and safe if I ever get into an accident :)

oh wait.. this is zilvia.. nvm! a 300 mm steering wheel (because your so big and buff) will look ballar as hell with your supermade body kit and 19x10 wheel with 185s stretched onto them.. don't worry about stock sr20 with a fmic and painted valve cover, your glitter 2-tone paint will make all the ladies gizz their pants:ghey: don't forget that ballin' roll cage!

Its cause we're still trying to keep up with the Jones's. Cars are just another fashion accesory we use to compare peepee sizes and wallet sizes....

In our case, the more baller the part the larger the member, the deeper the wheel lips equals the larger wallet.

Back on topic...my all time favorite wheel is the 350mm Momo Monte Carlo... Lasted forever

Well, shit head, my stock steering wheel from 1993 was almost as big of a piece of shit as you have made yourself out to be.

The foam was separated from the metal core and it would twist in my hands. This made even (GASP!) daily driving dangerous at times.

For this reason I switched out for a different wheel. The first that came available to me was a 330mm Nardi Classic through a friend. It now resides on my car, with my authentic OEM Nissan Aero, and my 18x10/18x9 wheels.

Now, pull your head out of your ass, and your foot out of your mouth, and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Diarrhea spewing from mouth.

Shut the fuck up.

Some of us are smart enough to have removable steering wheels with quick release locks to prevent theft (on top of alarms, kill switches, etc).

Now, go be a dumbass somewhere else.

[Quail]

I'm running a 330mm Suede OMP. Being small(ish), its quite a bit heavier than stock. The cars being daily driven at the moment and its not a problem. The suede however has aged and looks awful. Going to upgrade to a 350mm black leather OMP WRC.

I have a nardi deep corn 330 with a works bell splash hub and I love it. Even on a *GASP* street car, it's awesome. My stock wheel was in rough shape as well... and since it didn't have an airbag anyway, I figured "why not?"

[R33E8]

sorry for starting the riot, the airbag thing is just something serious to think about.. I'm actually thinking about getting a 330mm steering wheel myself in the near future.. No need to get all worked up lol

good job harassing people on a forum you proved a lot. Even the MOD tries to bitch people out. So sounds like the Nardi Classic and Nardi deep dish 350 and 330's are the best wheels to get. Maybe a Vertex except i hate the embroidered bidazal logo crap.

Does anyone know what size the stock 240 wheel is ? im looking into a wheel and QR because ive found getting in and out of my car is alot worse now with a racing seat in there. but i like the size and feel of the stock wheel maybe about 10mm smaller is ok but nothing smaller.

advice?

NRG QR hub and what wheel..i like classic non rice looking stuff something thats low key and matches right witha black interiour .. as well as leather would be nice to since swade will wear out and look funky after a while..


oh and why do alot of wheels look like they stick out so far from the steering column..like driving with them it would be in your chest.. im 6\0 and sit pretty far back i suppose..

advice?
