Pic Request: 350mm Steering Wheel + Gauges

Looking for pictures of peoples interior with this size wheel, because I'm wondering how much of the stock gauges will be covered up.

If Im correct I believe 350mm is the same size steering wheel as stock it will just be closer to you because of the hub and quick release if you decide to use it

Ok, I thought it was 380mm but you could be right.

350mm blocks 3500RPMS to ~6500 RPMS. You can't see the turn signal lights either.

I'm 6'0" so you might not experience this if you're shorter.

yeah, it doesn't suck too much though, only when checking your speed.

a nice aftermarket wheel feels good in your hands though. I don't see it as problem unless you have some sort of 3500RPM-6500RPM fetish or something.

That size wheel will also semi-obscure the oil pressure gauge...at least on a S5 cluster.

oh its 380mm? onno. all I know is do not get 320mm ******* block everything. but if it blocks your view of anything if you get a quick release it will bring it closer to you and should be able to see the stock gauges better.

do you have the adjustable steering column??

I took a pic from my point of view but I don't have the cables at work so I'll have to post them later this afternoon.

EDIT: it looks like the adj. column. Are you sure the wheel you posted is 350mm?

I have a 330mm, and it sort of blocks the 60-80mph range, AND the turn signals (I hate that, but won't replace the wheel )

BTW - I am 5'5"

so if you're shorter then go with the 350mm. If you're tall go with the 330mm?

i'm 5'8'', 350mm momo wheel works fine for me.

Edit: Plus, 350mm is the stock size, there won't be a noticeable difference in size, just looks, and depending on your hub size, distance from the cluster.

btw, my wife would like you to know that I always leave my signal on. It started when the wheel was replaced. I can't see the blinkers. I'll post the pics from my POV in an hour or so.

I can barely see the "x1000" in the cluster.

@Phoenix: Thanks

@Walken: Sweet. I'm about the same height at you so I shouldn't have any trouble.

The first ATC wheel I posted is a 355mm on a short hub half the size as the crappy ones on ebay. non-adjustable column.

this ATC wheel from my ghetto FC is a little smaller. I never measured it, but some how I managed to sell it! lol
