Hi
I am looking at replacing my steering wheel but not sure if I should go for a 13inch or 14inch (1 inch can make a huge difference wink)
Any suggestions????

Has your car got power steering? If not a 13" wheel may make parking hard work. Without measuring it I'm not sure what size I have on mine as standard.
Before I bought the Chim I built a Cobra to which I fitted a 13" wheel. Without power steering the thing was a beast to park, but perhaps more importantly the steering was over sensitive to slight movements of the steering wheel at higher speeds (over 50mph and that's not fast!)
I replaced it with a 14" which to a large extent cured the problems.
It still didn't handle as well as the Chim though

I had a 13incher (no pun intended....) on my old 4.0 without PAS and it was a real pig as the steering was so heavy, looked really good though! As soon as I put the standard one back on things were much easier to live with.

Cheers guys
That's what I was thinking.
I do have power steering but don't want to get a 13" and then wish I had 14 (ahem).
