Default Best priced "D" shaped steering wheel...

I am so sick of the school bus sized steering wheel. I also dont want to pay and arm and a leg for just a wheel either. Whats the best options? And also, how in the world do you install it

The most popular options are 330mm and 350mm. I bought a 330mm Sparco and immediately sold it because it was way too small for me. I finally landed on a 350mm Momo and it's perfect.

The least expensive option that I know of for installation is to buy the Grant quick release and adapter hub from Summit racing. I'll post the links later.

I have a Momo Mod 88 in 320mm. I like the small size and this one has a horn button.
If you don't want a quick release, just get a momo hub. Removal of the old wheel can be trying, to say the least (Matco puller arms will break).
You'll need to add a resistor to keep your airbag light off, do a search for that.

The wheel is one of the best upgrades I've done.

That adapter is slick. Do you know if it allows or deletes horn functionality?

I've got an OMP wheel, and love it. Not d-shaped, just a bit smaller than stock.

you cut the red horn button wire and connect it to the horn setup that comes integrated on the Momo wheel. Pretty easy.

I have the same setup but also have a quick release hub and the momo hub adapter from this website

Wheel is a little closer by about 1.5" but I like it better

Don't worry it is no where near as close as the circle track guys like it.
Mod 88 comes in 320mm and 350mm also on website above

Agree removal was the hardest part

Got pics?

Does the horn button ring stick out a lot? Hard to tell from pics.
