    Who's running a 350mm or similar steering wheel

    I just put one in and so far im not liking it. Can't see the top of the speedo, tach, signals or anything. Is anyone using one and just got use to the lack of view?

      It's definitely still irritating on the freeway. I really like the extra legroom and quicker steering response though.

          Yeah I have one... pic here http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=236486-->

          I've gotten used to it. Make sure your seat is lowered all the way. And this quick release I put in brought the wheel closer to me giving me a little more speedo view.

            I've got a 330mm and i can't see my speedo on the freeway. I just have to duck a little to see it...I got used to it.

                I'm using a sparco 350 suede race wheel, I had a momo typ v36 which was perfect (370?), but I needed a smaller wheel at the track.

                  I'd say anything smaller than 350mm is just too damn small.
