Default input on this steering wheel

Hey guys, I'm wanting to order a steering wheel for my s2000 to run in str this year. What do you all think this sparco...

http://www.sparcousa.com/psteering_comp.asp?id=612

I've searched on here and saw the threads on steering wheels although it seems that everyone has their own preferences. Most people go with a 330mm wheel though. I was wondering about this 300mm wheel and any input on it would be great.

ps- I would use a momo hub to mount it.

How carefully have you read the rules? I suggest you re-read them carefully.

Steering wheels with airbags in them cannot be replaced in any ST* class. If you replace your wheel in the S2000 you go to BSP.

That is very small for the car. You view of the gauge cluster will be impacted. For reference, the stock wheel is 350mm, 330mm got in my view of the cluster (5'11"). Even though I liked the wheel, I could not live with it and as such, I sold it. I could not even imagine a 300mm wheel in this car.

On a MOMO hub it will fit. however, it will be just a bit further back (closer to dash) then stock.

Are you trying to hurt yourself? Why would you take the airbag out of a street car?
