It is a cheap Pilot Steering wheel from Auto Zone or Napa was under $40 and came with the horn button and hardware to mount.

Grip is soft rubber and is approx 1" in dia..

Approx 13 1/4" across. They due have one that is smaller that I have been thinking about trying.

I currently have a Mountney in my car, I don't remember the size but it was originally intended for a classic Mini. We use a Momo Champion in the FM Westfield and we've used other various wheels to play around. I have a 10" kart wheel at home I'd like to try sometime.

So where is the pic of YOUR wheel, Mazda? I mean, c'mon, you started the thread! :)

 

Mine is an old 13" Formuling steering wheel. Last time I saw it my friend was driving away with it. Fortunately I had the camera handy:

I'm looking for something smaller, and possibly D shaped. Right now bidding on a Spa Alpha suede wheel.

I don't know the brand or model as I bought it used off the internet and the seller didn't know what it was. The emblem in the center is from a Caterham Super 7 nose cone. The wheel is about 1" larger diameter than the MOMO wheel that came with the kit. It also had a different bolt circle than the MOMO so a friend machined me the adaptor shown below.

ok, i'll ask, what kind of steering wheel do u want Mazda?

 

do u want small, like the 260-280mm that motolia, momo, and Spa make for kit/race cars, or do u want to have alarger wheel where u have more mechanical advantage over teh steering rack?

 

so u want round, oval, split? leather, rubber, suede?

 

searching on ebay will give plenty of ideas of whats available.

 

i have the momo 260 on the 7 and a nardi torino(~320mm) on my wagon.

 

i lke the moulded pieces at 2 and 10 o'clock. they do feel comfortable.

 

if u want to give into ur ricer side looke into the Momo Jet2 wheels. i was considering it before the nardi.

I think 10" will be too small for my leverage needs (busa inserts joke here)

 

My current wheel is 13". If I go with 12" D shape, it'll be ideal

 

It's been years since I've had a suede wheel... that's a requirement too.

 

Currently bidding on a round 11" Spa suede wheel on ebay, but may let that go if I get outbid.
