I'm using a Sparco Ring. It's 335 mm with a 35 mm dish. I wouldn't suggest using a suede steering wheel though if it's going to be used with bare hands.

I used a 330mm Sparco for a couple of events and it was just too small for me. I bought a 350mm MOMO and it's perfect.

I was looking at this one but didnt know if 350 was too big.

Does anyone know the standard size?

I assume you need all of compionents to make the MOMO fit correctly.

Pfadt makes a C6 hub adapter. I believe that's all you would need.

Try out the momo in the ugly black c5 in your shop. It is a 320mm Mod 88 (mildly d-shaped wheel); No quick-release, just one $70 adapter.

Doug has a sparco in the vert but that car is mainly for 1/4 so was seeing what RR guys have. I will look at yours. Thanks.

I did a lot of searching and question asking about this last year when I got my track car. After many suggestions, the consensus at that time was to go with the ATI quick release HUB. If you go through them, they have a complete kit with everything you need. There's an old thread around that has some pictures and lots of good info. I went with the Sparco 383 330mm wheel for my car and love it. For me, it's just the right size. It is much smaller than the stock steering wheel. You will think you are driving a bus when you go to the stocker. ATI can also get the wheel for you as well so you can get everything from one place.

I forget who the contact is...I want to say Adam but not sure. Their phone number is 248-848-9200.
