[bataangpinoy]

i have a what seems to be a nardi. the wheel is called the raid but i dont know who makes it. i have the wood grain one. this is the leather version.

Got this italian-made Sportline-wheel from my sisters ex this christmas. Haven´t been able to source a hub for it yet.

Should look decent with my wooden Alpina gearknob.





Heres an old pic of interior and gearknob:

a momo or sparco hub would work for you.

If anybody has a small diameter Mtech1 wheel for sale please let me know, thanks

Is this the only thread that shows wheels? It seems like there would be a wider variety of BMW wheels people have used (both oem BMW and 80's period correct wheels).

Interesting cluster gauge..what it is exactly, M3 or regular e30?

YES, E30 m3 all the way... working oil temp gauge instead of mpg gauge, red needles.

Best E30 wheel ever...here is mine:

+1 I just put one in on Nina. Love the feel.

One turn of a wheel is 360 degrees no matter the diameter

The smaller diameter allows a shorter distance traveled for the same degree of rotation

You have to think of the cog in the steering rack as a constant: it only responds to the degree of rotation.

In your tire example, one may travel a longer distance in one revolution but the drivetrain rotates the same amount.

Hmm so in using my same example, of hand movement, you could move your hands LESS with the smaller wheel and equal the same amount of steering angle as if you moved your hands more with the big wheel.

OK

I'm dumb

I think I lost you. One turn of the big wheel turns the wheels more. Your hands may travel more, but ONE turn of the wheel itself = more steering angle.

So again a big wheel quickens the ratio (in the real world)

You have it backwards, I've just been to lazy to point it out.

A larger wheel = more leverage on the wheel = easier turning but for more distance to apply the same level of input on the steering rack.

A smaller wheel = less distance but also less leverage acting on the steering rack.

Just like gears on a bicycle, the numerically higher ratio gears are easier to pedal and move forward, but you have to input more revolutions to travel the same distance. The numerically lower ratio gears will travel farther per turn, but we require more effort to travel the same distance.

teh gangsta wheel. I have this one i use in every car

Another good example.

I was in a mathing mood I guess
