steering wheel & hub recommendations

i currently have on a s5 steering wheel and looking to get a nice nardi deep corn wheel soon but not sure what hub to get, nrg, ebay, etc?

also does any one know how much more further does this wheel or any aftermarket wheel hub combo, sticks out compared to oem?

well if you go with a boss hub (ebay crap) it will extend it a few inches and the signal lever will be farther away from the wheel and your fingers... just have to get use to it i guess thats what i did... but if you want it to be like stock and close to the lever, buy a nrg short hub.. i also suggest getting a quick release for extra security and so your new steering wheel doesn't attract attention and cause its a dope steering wheel you dont want top get jacked

I've got a momo deep wheel with a momo hub and I love it. You can find the hubs cheap used, I paid $30 or something. I believe the Momo/ Nardi bolt patterns are the same too.

To the OP: go with a Nardi. It will make you happy every time your behind the wheel.

I used to have a Nardi and tho it looked nice... It flexed WAY too much for my likings... if I ever go back to an aftermarket wheel it'll prolly be the mazdaspeed ones found in the infini IV's, personal, or either a 99 spec FD wheel.

I just can't see myself going back to a Nardi as I have a manual racked S4 TII and I didn't like it when I had power steering in my S5. lol.
