aftermarket steering wheel

i was interested in buying an aftermarket wheel with a hub
quick release w/e but i was very curious in the size of it. i want to know what size mine is because it perfectly clears the gauge cluster.
i think its a stock s4 wheel


sorry about the size

Actually, I think that is a stock S5 steering wheel. Not sure... I rarely see S4's.

looks like an S5 wheel and the 350mm wheels WILL block your tachometer so if you're really concerned about that you should look into larger wheels.

This is true. It's not a huge deal for the tach, but it might be for the speedo. I remember when i had my stock seat with a new wheel, i couldn't see from around 65-90mph. Probably the most important range of the speedo. :p

Of course, your height might have a bit to do with it. I have a bucket seat with low seat rails and it STILL blocks the speedo and tach a bit. Take that into account before you buy.

I learned to live with it. I look at my RPMS, if I'm at or above 3.5K RPMS in 5th then I'm speeding.

The biggest bitch arises with the turn signals. I'm tall, kinda deaf and my wheel wasn't aligned right. When you put the signal on it works fine but the angles to turn it off are not right so the blinker stays on for DAYS. Since i'm tall I can't see the lil arrow blinking and i'm kinda deaf I can't hear it clicking.
