Morning all - I have the larger spline on my 1991 Golf and was wondering if there were any VW wheels that are a bit smaller than the standard GTi one - Now I've fixed my seat my fat legs are a bit too close to the wheel, even with seat adjustment!  :grin:

Cheers

Any decent upholsterer should do it.  Or the usual places - Trim Deluxe, MJ Interiors.

dragonfly's one is the smallest OEM one. The leather ones feel bigger but a very comfortable wheel.

Would love a 300mm Momo but would have to get Trimdelux to make me some sort of OEM looking centre pad.

Thom Foose has a nice wheel and I have seen those in a few audi quattro's.

I would say when it's on it's in line with the ends of the stalks.  It's a nice wheel and different from the normal 300/320mm Momos.

Found the same in mine, was doing my head in. Went for a momo 78.



Found and bought a black centre horn push for it too. Always on the lookout for a VWMS one though :(
