Default Spoon steering wheel comparison

Pictures are forthcoming, but I just installed a gen2 spoon wheel on my 07 ap2. It replaced a 350mm momo monte carlo. The spoon wheel is listed as 360mm in diameter, but it is only slightly bigger than the monte. 352 or 353mm at most. In terms of thickness, the wheel rim is measurably taller than the MC, by 1mm or so. The depth of the rim is greatly increased in terms of feel, with the MC measuring at 36mm deep and the spoon wheel at 39 to 40mm. It is noticeably thicker to the touch, and having big hands it makes all the difference.

Cliffs notes- the spoon wheel is not a monte carlo. It is cosmetically similar, but there is indeed a difference.

slightly smaller in diameter (maybe 5mm), with a significantly deeper grip. does not block the view of the steering wheel any more than stock. I had a 350mm momo competition that blocked the tach, even with a lowered seat rail.
