Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 31, 2004 Hi all, Anyone know the diameter of the standard VW steering wheel (VR)? I'm getting either a Momo Race or a Jet from Halfords tonight if they're still on sale (£97!) but don't want to get one that's too small. I suspect they'll only have the 350mm one in, but does anyone have the 320mm? Just wondering how much smaller it is compared to standard. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted August 31, 2004 just went out and measured my standard g60 wheel which was 365mm in diameter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 31, 2004 Cheers mate. 365mm, so 350 would be spot on then. I think a 4.5cm reduction in diameter might have clock visibility implications and my steering isn't the lightest, so 350 it is.... :lol: Thanks again K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers I'm guessing 30mm. :lol: Best wheel I have ever had is the one from my old G60. The three prong leather one. Its been on all my cars since. Its 360mm by the way and it cuts of the temp warning light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 31, 2004 LOL....indeed, but I was trying to get an idea of how much the clocks would be blocked out by a smaller wheel :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted August 31, 2004 I have a Momo Race steering wheel in my Corrado that I just measured at 345mm. I have no clock blocking issues at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymarcel 0 Posted August 31, 2004 My momo millienium is 350mm, tiny bit smaller then standard VR wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Dial/LED blocking by the steering wheel obviously also depends a) how tall you are, b) where you put your seat, c) where you set your steering column .. Too many variables to say for sure XYZ wheel does/doesn't block anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted August 31, 2004 320mm is the way to go IMO feels great to drive and looks the boll@cks you may find that the top of the dials are obscured but deal with it or move your wheel up a touch i`ll find a pick and put it on in a bit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 31, 2004 Very nice mate 8) I've ordered the 350 now (momo Race), so too late! I paid £97 in the Halfords sale, which is better than the normal price of £150 odd. They've ordered a boss in which will be about £35. I also got a Silver/leather Momo knob to compliment the wheel and silver Pioneer stereo. I'm liking the knob, has a bit of weight in it for a smoother shift, well, it seems that way at least! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
