i found this momo steering wheel that i like, it's the momo "power", it's like $160, the only draw back is that it's 11.8", i am looking for a smaller diameter steeringwheel, but will 11.8" cover my view of the gauges?

I hate how I can't see the top of the tach with my stock steering wheel. that would likely cover it up, unless you adjust your tilt

yeah,  mrfly is right.  i have a 13 inch or so grant gt wheel and i can't see my gauges(but that's because i like the wheel right in my lap.  if you adjust the tilt up a little,  you can see the gauges better.  it also depends on how tall you are too.  i'm right at 6 feet, so if you're shorter chances are you can see the gauges better.

...or i could just go to any junkyard and get a silvia steering wheel for like $10. &nbsp;they are all over the place here. &nbsp; even with those, &nbsp;the top will still block part of the gauges if you have the wheel in your lap. &nbsp;my stock one did that as well. &nbsp;

What sucks is that if WE wanted a silvia steering wheel we'd have to go to ebay and pay like $60, plus shipping.

why dont you get a tape measure put it in the center of the steering coloum and pull it to about what it would be and you might get a better picture if it will obscure your view of the gauges
