280mm steering wheel, anyone run one of these?
« on: 13 October 2009, 16:27 »
Hello peeps,

Saw quite a few mk2s running the small momo steering wheels at ed38, was wondering if anyone has used one?
Any notable advantages etc?
At times my standard 16v steering wheel does feel "big"  :smiley:

Ta,
Goops

Yup, ive got a 280mm momo team, first thing most people comment about when they get in my car lol. Is a really well made wheel, is very small but you do get used to it, turns in quicker i think. Theres always the 300mm option if its too small.

I want a 280/300mm wheel - my 370mm one feels like a bus!

Never found one for a good price though.

The MK3 golf vr6 or the corrado vr6 has a nice steering wheel. Feels slightly smaller than the original one.

Im after an original steering wheel by the way.

Had one on mine but I have manual steering so had to take it off and sell it! 3 point turns were fun!

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

I had a small steering wheel on my last Golf for a few months. Not bad for general driving but a bit of a pain when manouvering. Ditched it in the end for a 320.
