    Hi, just got hold of a 370mm steering wheel and wanted to share a comparison of the two before install. Here you go:

    Woah.
    I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.

      Nice find! Night and day difference IMO. Love the 370 wheel. I'm running a rare BMW momo 360 wheel and it's a bit too small for my taste. Would love to get a 370

        The 370 feels thicker when holding it in but they are actually the same size, both at 28mm, wich surprised me. A re-wrap with extra padding would be awesome.

          Yeah, it's actually funny how much difference 15mm can do. Maybe the knowledge of the 370mm being rare adds to the experience? :) anyway, got this for a measly $140 so I'm really happy with it.

              Very helpful photos! Must be short people in here, if I had anything smaller than my 385mm MT1 I'd lose the top half of both speedo and tach.

                You are absolutly right, didn't really think about that. I loose the top third of the speedo and tach but it doesn't bother me as I still can see the needle. And if I adjust the seat a bit I can see all of it. I'm 5.11 and I can imagine you are a bit taller.
