Maybe this thread should be "How big is too big?"

depending on your height it looks like it might obscure your cluster view during turns... I guess the force feedback will tell you when to shift??

This newer version doesn't have the cut-out at the top. http://nascar.about.com/cs/pcsimulations/g.../momoracing.htm

Umm...get a Momo 78 330mm wheel or stay stock. The change (350->270) is too drastic and you are not used to it. Probably not a good idea to experiment for OTC, unless you want to give up THE podium. Besides, the decreased size will make everything more immediate and super sensitive. Good to an extent, but it will also decrease the current grey area where you make you corrections.

Save the wheel for a shifter kart if you ever get one.

The wheel weighs 1 lb 0.5 oz if that matters.

You probably only gain 1/2 lb. max by sizing up.

Ya might want to take a look at one of three two Sparco's:

They're not as small as the clown-car wheel and have a flat bottom for some extra knee room. Personally, I run the Mugello (3rd link) in the CRX and even it borders on smallish (though w/ no P/S admittedly I have different requirements than you). You might find the 310mm wheels too small for the steering ratio, as jzr mentioned.

Sorry Erik, I couldn't resist. The handles of the wheel got me thinking a little retro..
