Momo Race steering wheel installed...
350mm. Had narrowed it down between this and the 'competition' model and chose this based on the little inside 'finger *****' at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions. Didnt weigh it but it is noticeable lighter than the Efini steering wheel I had on before. Big improvement in the 'feel' of the car and I have more leg room now, which is always a plus!

I like my Momo Race but I REALLY wish I got a Momo Model 78.
The Momo Race's spokes are not in the right position... they're far too low, so while your thumbs are at 3 and 9, your hands aren't (hands at 3 and 9, NOT your thumbs, they should be at 10 and 2-ish, and actually wrapped around the spokes). Also, the spokes are too wide anyway so you can't really hold it like a race wheel (Like the Model 78, Monte Carlo, or Mod 68).
Plus, my hands get sweaty and a suede wheel would have been much more practical than leather (besides wearing gloves that is).
It still looks good though...

Where did you buy the wheel and adapter?
I've heard some bad things about them(mostly ebay) and I was wondering where I could pick a good one like that for my fc?

BTW nice seats.

More of a seat pic, but you can see the efini wheel here:

I used to run one in my FC.
I'm tall, and without a spacer, my fingers would hit the turn signal and cruise control stalks pretty easily.
I had a custom 1.5" spacer in there, and it was close to perfect...
Except the top part of the instrument cluster was cut-off - i.e. turn signal lamps.
Yes, it's a 350mm, and it's also concentric.
I switch it out with an authentic R.E. Amemiya (green version), and I LOVE this thing!
It's 350mm (or slightly bigger), but it has the a slightly offset upward to get a better look at the instrument cluster.
The R.E. Amemiya wheel also has nicer grooves, and my hands love to grip it...more so than the MOMO Race.
Funny, I was also deciding between the Race and Competition, when I got the Race.

IMO the perfect spacer size is 2.5" (63mm or so), or slightly more... of course it depends on the person, but I'm average height for American Caucasians (just under 6').
...good luck actually finding a 2.5" spacer besides the NRG (Rapfix-style) quick-release spacer. But avoid the eBay ripoffs at all costs. They will work for about a week and then they will develop terrible back/forth play (lateral play is non-existent though).
I need to replace the one I bought... and since NRG hubs are expensive (and Rapfix hubs are ungodly), I'm gonna get a cheap (fixed) 50mm spacer off eBay (only one seller makes them), and put a 15mm MOMO OEM spacer on it to get 65mm.
The basic way of judging whether your steering position is correct is by seeing if you can put your wrists on top of the wheel without taking your shoulders off the back of you seat. I can only barely do this (my shoulder comes up just a little but otherwise it's perfect) with a 2.5" spacer (and a reasonable reclining of my seat), so I figure a little more spacer or a fixed bucket seat that will let me sit a bit more vertically (and still have headroom) will be perfect.
