Default New steering wheel

Just added an OMP WRC steering wheel, smooth leather with red stitching. Resisted the urge to get the suede on the advice of the vendor (Driver's Edge Motorsport in Vancouver BC) but I'm finding the smooth leather has good grip. Wheel is a very comfortable 350mm diameter (think that's 13.8" in 'Murica), which is smaller than factory (380mm) but larger than the too-small 330mm Isotta wheel it replaced. Has a 70mm dish, which I'm finding easier on the arms than the reach to the flat Isotta but find the further reach to the stalks taking some time to get used to.

Bottom line: good size, easy reach, great grip, highly recommended.

ps - Anybody - esp tall fellas - interested in the Isotta wheel can shoot me a reasonable offer by PM.
