recommend me a steering wheel

[shirt]

hi guys,

i'm looking for a new wheel for my track car and hoped this section would be best to ask for recommendations. i need one around 300mm diameter, thought can be +/- 30mm without making any great difference. it must either be flat or shallow dish, budget around £150

reason i'm asking for recommendations is that i am inexperienced on track and i'm limited to buying mail order only so a consensus on comfort would be nice. do you prefer a round or elliptical rim and what about spoke position and anatomical grips?

current wheel appears to be from a kart and it is a pile of crap. one's i'm interested sizewise are:

sparco - 300, 323
omp - super turismo, trecento, superquadro

also are there any cheaper alternatives to paying out £150ish for a quick release boss?

cheers for reading.

My personal preference is for thin, oval grips without too much sculpting, like the Momo 78 or Sparco 333. I'd only get one with a squared off bottom like the Superquadro if you really need the extra space for your knees.

I bought a Sabelt 330mm Wheel for £140 from www.moderacewear.com at Silverstone for my Alfa 33. Probably should have got a 350mm though as its still a bit hard to turn at slow speeds. Excellent quality wheel though in suede and much better than the original Alfa wheel.

I like the Momo 88's a lot;

I have one on both my TVR and Westfield.

i presume you mean corsica, which is too big and too deeply dished, which means you didn't read the thread in the first place

£30! wish i'd seen these earlier! went for a race tech one for £80 iirc, although i did get the one with the 1" did, 2" long slug so i can get it turned to suit

of course i had to buy gloves as well to stop me ruining the wheel, quite an expensive afternoon it turned out to be!

i bought one of those last year..........you get what you pay for, had to replace it with a better quality one as the side to side play was too much felt like the wheel was coming off.

Phil, you mean Spencer didn't get one in his cornflakes box this week?

Either a Moto Lita leather-rimmed wheel, or my all-time favourite, a Momo Prototipo. Gorgeous wheel with the anodised black centre, nice rim thickness too.
