I have an Evo IX steering wheel with in tact air bag if you'd like to trade for a quick release OMP or something

I've had a nardi and a personal wheel. Loved them both and both were great quality.

I had a nice Personal steering wheel in my '01 Firebird. Great quality, well-designed and looked great. I highly recommend them.

Anyone know what the factory diameter on the stock steering wheel is? I'll look into the nardi and personal steering wheels. Does works bell still make hubs? Or anyone else (good quality)? I don't trust those cheap NRG hubs.

Don't let the NRG name fool you. It's actually pretty damn good. I've had mine for over 2 years.

Look up OMP and Sparco competition steering wheels.

There also was a Timo Makinen wheel by OMP in a few different versions ...

I love my Driven wheel. They are new on the scene. I have had a MOMO, Prodrive, and now a Driven in my Evo and legend car. They are half the price of a similar momo and good looking.
This is from a drift team in Sweeden

Here it is in the legend car.

Shoot me a PM and I can tell you where to get one.

The stock steering wheel is 350mm and actually pretty darn nice IMO. I run a aftermarket steering wheel only for the reason that i need to take it off to get in or out of the car with a cage. I use a Sparco with a sparco quick release and shorty hub. I bought a dished (forget how much dished) to get the wheel exactly where i wanted it. That is the biggest thing to think about when putting on an aftermarket wheel.

I have a Sparco 323 in Suede. I've had a Momo prior and really like the Sparco. I also tried a dished wheel and did not like the fit for my driving preferences. For some reason I like the flat wheel better. I bought my hub used from evodave on the forums and for some reason I've never gotten it to sit on the right groove so my wheel sits slightly off center, kinda annoying...Make sure to get a quality hub with no known issues.
