    There are more 350mm wheels on the market than 320mm from what I have seen. And Momo's are one of the cheapest available.

    Robbie's car with a 350mm Momo and stock sport seats cuts off the tops of the gauges for me, being 6'0. But it will be fine in my car since I sit a good 5 or 6 inches lower with my Corbeaus.

      momo's are too expensive. I really don't wanna drop $150 for a steering wheel and another $50 for the hub. Look on ebay, everything is 320mm I rarely find all black 350mm wheels. It's really annoying but I'll find something eventually. Thanks for the help.
      I go wuaaaaaahh pssssshhhhh!!!!

        if lots of people are selling 320mm second hand, maybe that tells you something, just a thought.

        If you look, you can find momo's for less than 150. But like always, you have to pay to play. OEM e30 sport wheels sell for way cheap.

              I think he is just implying that with no power steering with a 320mm wheel you wont be able to crank the wheel for shit unless you are popeye. I say go to a store, hold some wheels in your hands and see which feels more comfortable.

                Cause he's an idiot.
                350 is pretty damn small.
                By for the smallest wheel I've ever driven a car with.
                The wheel cuts off the gauges as is, but I really like it. I plan to get seats that are a little lower so hopefully then I can see all the gauge, but right now it doesn't bother me to much.
                There is absolutely no reason to go to 320mm. It would look really small and out of place, you will only be able to see half your gauges, and in no way will it make your car perform better.

                    any idea on what size this is because they haven't contacted me and they don't seem to know just wondering if anyone could tell if it's a 350mm or not.

                      And 320mm is too small
