Default Recommendation Aftermarket Steering Wheel and Hub

I really hate using the stock steering wheel at the track. It feels way to big. Any suggestions for wheel and hub for track use? Diameter?

Thanks for any input.

Do you have a rollbar and harness yet? If not, stock works great.

diameter is all personal preference as is wheel design. OMP, Sparco, Momo, Personal, Nardi, etc all make nice wheels in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials and prices

for the hubs, the Works Bell works best in my experience - retains clockspring, includes the tool to remove factory airbag bolts, includes resistors to keep the airbag warning light off

I love my Sparco 330mm steering wheel, forget the model. The works bell quick release with the shorty hub works great too.

I think 330 is a good size to go with. I have a Personal in that size and it feels really good. Got it from Adam at Z1.

I just put on my Nardi Classic 330mm. Feels good however I have not yet been on the track yet with it. Since I have shorter legs there was no room for me to add a quick release. This wheel is paired with a Works Bell (Splash) short hub and Nardi/Personal adapter.

Please excuse the paint runs and zip ties. Fabbing up brackets for the door handles soon. The cage still needs to be painted. I am not sure if I am going to take this on myself, or not.
