Go for the 330mm ( smaller is better IMO ) and depending on what wheel you buy you will probaly need a hub adapter.

350mm is used if you have stock seats, 330mm is optimal for race seats. I have 350mm, and its just fine.

The hub will fit both wheels, I have the works hub and it fits and works perfectly.

the stock steering wheel is 14.6"

if u have a bucket racing seat. 330 fits great... thats what i got. if you have a shorty hub and a QR.. just note that the wheel will be a little closer to you and it'll be a slight reach for the turn signal indicators...

Personal neo grinta, works bell QR! For steering wheels size, its personal taste, I like the smaller one.

I just installed a 340mm Personal Neo Eagle with a Short hub and quick release. Even though I have not driven the car yet, just from sitting in the car with my new recaros I love the position and the size of the wheel. Maybe 340 would be the size for you?

Hi Kwame,

Thx for the info. But, the vertex steering wheel only availlable in 330 mm and 350 mm. I might just have my bride seats fitted later and try how it goes with the size of OEM wheel. If it hits too much around lower arm and shoulder then i go with 330 mm

cheers,
Jerry

That sounds like a good plan. Let me know if you need anything as we carry most steering wheels.

Hey Kwame, where the heck did you get the suede shift boot and ebrake cover? Holy $hit man, that looks really good.

The upholster that my stereo installer uses, he is located in Conn. I have never seen work this good ever before in my life. Believe me I paid top dollar, but it was well worth it. I had them do the headliner and visors in Alcantara, I figured while they were at it they might as well match the ebrake and shift boot with the same material. They recovered my door panels in stock vinyl too... https://my350z.com/forum/showpost.ph...9&postcount=43

Jeery sorry for the off-topic rant.
