steering wheel help
I want to get a fatter steeringwheel now that I have a depowered rack.
I like the off-set of the stock wheel, but I don't know what offset it is, or what wheel to go with. I do not want the wheel any closer to my perfect body, preferably a little further away. However, I don't want to hit the blinker/wiper sticks.
Does anyone have comments on those issues for either wheel:
or
Also, any issues with running the ultra-cheap $7 ebay hub adapter?

Hustler,there is no way in hell I would trust a $7 ebay hub adapter.
Last thing you want is the cheap ebay hub stripping it's splines and losing total control of your car on a track day and plowing into a wall or gaurdrail.
The bottom steering wheel is a "rally" style wheel,it's designed to be closer towards your perfect body.
The best thing to do is go to a shop and check out steering wheels first hand.

i would think that a wheel with a 0 offset or fairly close to it would be the best bet. The ones with a dish and high offset will be way closer to you, since the adapter alone will push a flat steering wheel to close to where the stock one would be.

the adpater will push the steering wheel out far enough that a shallow wheel will not cause any issues. I am currently running a cheap-o adapter and an old momo shallow wheel without any issues.

Momo hub
NRG quick release
Nardi deep corn 330mm wheel
Its slightly closer than stock, but with my seat so low and back i love it.
oh, and i never hit the blinkers or wipers on accident. However it takes a bit to get used to the distance to the blinkers now.

I just put this 350mm (alittle smaller than stock, I wouldent want to go smaller personally) momo wheel in with a 7$ ebay adapter
The ebay adapter does look stronger than then momo adapter, in a bad way (wont crumple as easily). I just dident have the $$ for a momo one, so whatever.
The ebay adapter worked perfect tho, no modification to the clock spring is necessary.
Id say a shallow wheel with just an adaptor is about as far away from you as the stock wheel
Im so happy I got (well my girlfriend did ) the wheel, its much more pleasurable than the stock one!

remember the stock wheel has major dish on it....if you get a 0mm offset wheel and a bulky adapter, it may put it in the same spot.
spend the cash on a good adapter, the ebay one is a joke...I'm pretty sure it's zinc.

nice sunglasses.
I like your location for the lc-1 calibration button. What is the plug in the column?

with the stock wheel, by big, strong but soft hands are close to the sticks, but don't usually hit. Think of the ghost scene, but with a more attractive man and a car instead of clay...and your girlfriend instead of Demi.
I'm going to get the shorty wheel for now, thanks gays.
