wheel diameter

which is the diameter of the original steering wheel? Is that I'm going to order a wheel trough the net and I can't measure it right know. This because my car is almost 3,000 miles from where I'm right know.

Is it 330 mm or 350 mm?

I’m not sure what the measurement is, but do not get anything much smaller than the original. My Momo is only fractionally smaller than stock outside, but because of the thicker rim, the inside diameter is quite a bit smaller, and it blocks the top of the speedo and tach, the indicators, the oil pressure gauge and my carefully positioned aftermarket boost gauge!

380mm but it's offset upwards by 2mm.
No aftermarket steering I know of is of this EXACT dimensions.

Going with a 350mm is fine...&nbsp I run a MOMO Race 350mm right now.&nbsp I have no PS, and it feels a lot better, IMO.&nbsp I find 320mm or smaller TOO small for a non-PS FC.&nbsp If you're on the taller side (over 5'10"), the smaller diameter wheel tends to block the top edge of the instrument cluster, which is slightly annoying - you can't see the blinker lights. A steering column spacer works real well with the 350mm wheel!
