ok so fancy'd upgrading the steering wheel but i have no idea what boss will fit and what size of steering wheel to get and do most steering wheels fit most bosses or are they specific to each other?

i had a 300mm spacro wheel. it was too small. i now have a suede 330mm wheel and it's perfect. the boss you will need is an airbag one. someone said there's 2 available, one from memory simply doesn't cancel the indicator mechanism

if you just get a 6-hole sparco/omp boss then most wheels will fit it

i've the same wheel as eddie, tbh you soon get used to stretching for the indicators and the driving position is much more comfortable.

A flat wheel feels to be in the same place as the standard wheel, dished is about 3" closer to you.

320mm is the ideal size imo. Mcgill motorsport sell replica wheels like me and eddie have and they're spot on for 40 quid delivered Thumbs up

Ive got a dished OMP like the above pic.

Would reccomend, got a real nice feel to it when driving. Only downside is what cwspellowe said, you cant reach the indicators properley and the suede wears quicker than the standard wheel.

Just take it as a compliment chris Wink it wasn't intentional, just so happens the right things come up for sale at the right time. if it was a different colour you wouldn't be complaining Razz
