    I absolutely love my Sparco. If you want to try holding on to it to see what diameter you like PM me and we'll set something up.

    I have the 333mm model and it's about perfect. It's about 1.5 inches smaller in diameter than stock.

    speedy..thats almost the exact sparco i was looking at. the one i am contemplating is the 345 which is 350mm. you dont think the 330mm is to small? also, did you just get the hub...or did you get the hub and the extender?

    I think the 333mm is perfect. Any smaller and it might be too small, but I really like the feel of the one I have. I just got the hub, between that and the steering wheel mounting it puts the wheel just about at the stock location. Any closer and I'd be worried about smashing my head into it in a front end impact.

    I like a 350, but that is because the Army has destroyed both my shoulders.

    If you put the wheel any closer to you, like when I swapped out my standard nardi classic with the 'deep corn' it took a bit of stretch to get to my turn signal lever.

    i'm kind thinking the 350 because i already have the quick ratio steer column and it almost feels like i dont have power steering. i think putting a small steering wheel on it would make it even worse.

    so...330 or 350 hmmm

    Split the difference and go 345.
