    350mm or 320mm

    I'm looking for a steering wheel to buy and I was adviced that the 320mm are too small. It's been really hard finding 350mm so I was wondering if they are really too small. Thanks.
    I go wuaaaaaahh pssssshhhhh!!!!

      350mm is the perfect size for e30s. 320mm offers no advantages but plenty of downsides.

          no idea what an airbag wheel is, but the Mtech 2 wheel is 370mm.

            Yeah I wouldnt go below 350. My stock one was 390 (non-mtec) and my Alpina one is 360 and 360 is about as small as I would like to go. With the seat on the low setting I can see the tops of the gauges, if I went smaller Id lose a good portion of the cluster behind the wheel.
            Im now E30less.

              I'm short so it's ok I can do 350mm :D alright I'll keep searching but it's giving me a headache. Damn momos are too expensive and I can't find decent 350mm all black steering wheels.

                At my height I with a sport wheel can't see 50-90mph or so... I just guess.

                      Airbag is the same as M-tech 1. I want to say that's 390mm.

                        I have 320mm and I can see the guages fine but I'm only about 5'8. If I was any taller the guages would be blocked.

                            Well guess what, I do know the size, it says on the box, and I also know what part of the guages I can see when I sit in my car. It all depends on your size and the seat position. There are ways I could sit and I wouldn't be able to see it, but I don't sit that way.

                              I have a 350mm on my car.. I think its perfect. The top radius of the wheel lines up perfectly with the arch of the dash, above the instrument cluster. This is from the driver’s perspective of course.
