      i run a 350, without powersteering. I think it's maybe a hair too small, but it could be my seating position and quick release's extension closer to my body. I think it's nearly perfect, though.

        I used to have a 350mm Momo Monte Carlo, but I switched to a 370~mm suede Momo (similar shape to a vintage 90s Racing Dynamics wheel) and the bigger wheel suited me best. I also have a 380~mm Italvolanti Formel in my car, it is on the verge of being too big, but its got sentimental value to me, so that is currently what is in my car.

            I use a Sparco 330mm, blocks parts of the speedo but feels awesome.

              I have a 350mm Momo. I'm 5'11" with stock sport seats and this wheel blocks the top parts of the speedo from my view. It feels much better than the previous 385mm MTech1 I had tho. One other thing you should take into account besides the wheel diameter is the thickness of the wheel as well.

                      My favorite wheel I've tried in an E30 was a sparco 368 380mm. When the suede wore out I got a 350mm momo prototipo which I found to be too small.

                      This was in my 318is with Z3 rack and no powersteering. I really liked the leverage of the larger wheel.

                        always liked that wheel........especially in an old 911..Im sure it worked well w/ no ps and a z3 rack,,,
                        I love sitting down and just driving!

                          Same here, it does block the speedo/tach a bit but I love the way it drives.

                          If you autocross a lot the 330mm is a good choice.

                            I love my 350mm Personal wheel. It feels like I'm driving a go-kart! I feel 330mm would be too small.. My seat is in the lowest position and I'm 5'9" and my 350mm wheel is currently a hair over my speedo.

                            Definitely a big improvement over my previous airbag steering wheel.

                              A slightly smaller wheel is on the agenda down the road a bit. My stock wheel just feels to big for the car. I used to have a Momo wheel years ago in my old Passat and loved it so I'll probably go that route. Probably looking in the 350-360mm range.
