Thanks.

Whichever size Tsuchiya-san uses... cause the drift king knows best!

Honestly though, drift, grip, grandma, it's all personal preference. Get out there and grab some different size steering wheels, and then use which one you like the best. If you don't like what you get, just buy a new one and sell the old one..

For reference: I think I have a 320mm wheel and it took a little getting used to coming from the stock wheel. With the much smaller diameter, steering effort increased, but now I'm used to my little wheel, and my arms are also twice as huge!

350mm IMO anything else feels weird!

depends on how wide your shoulders are, unless you're just retarded and want some small ass "racing" wheel because thats what you see all the ricers using.

depends on your height and your feel for space :)

smaller sucks.. stay around stock sizes... becuase your hands wont have much anywhere to go when you need to switch over the drift or correct yourself.

If the car has power steering/long ratio steering rack, smaller diameter by about 20-40mm is great. It will make less work of steering, and you won't feel so "busy" steering all the time.

I've driven a Corolla w/ no PS and small diameter (~320mm) and turning is a workout, but it's not bad. You feel all pumped up and buff after a few u-turns.

i was skeptical about buying my 320mm wheel because i thought it might be too small, but it's totally fine. the difference in steering effort is practically unnoticable in my opinion. going back to normal steering wheels suck though, when i get into my prelude or civic it feels like im driving a bus! i definitely recommend the 320. (makes a big difference when drifting too).

im running 360mm. I love it. The only time I see people running small diamter wheels, is when they are driving a hachi.
