Default steering wheel

Hey guys

I do a lot of tracking. My car is also a daily. I was looking to upgrade the wheel for alittle more respones. Should I go with a 330 mm or a 350 mm will do. I heard that the stock s2000 wheel was 350mm. Why dose everone sell mostly 350 mm. Help

If you want more steering response buy a 2000-2003 S2000 which has a quicker steering ratio and firmer suspension.

A smaller steering wheel won't give you quicker steering response.

The AP1 steering wheel is also slightly smaller than the AP2.

You might want to just get an old S2000 steering wheel if you're just looking for something smaller to grab.

Yea...i got a momo 350mm wheel and is the same as stock. I really dont think that a wheel is really a performance mod...just looks cool

Compared to pretty much any car ive driven the S2k's stock wheel is great!

Maybe the grip is a little better on aftermarket wheels? ... I'll keep telling myself that

Are you able to use your air bag on an aftermarket steering wheel? I was always wondering...

Dont want to have an accident then go head first right into the center of my aftermarket steering wheel with no air bag....ouch!

330mm in alcantara is what i would recommend. I would prefer a thicker grip also.

the only aftermarket wheel Ive seen with airbags was from momo.

you shouldnt hit the steering wheel if your seatbelts are functioning properly

I love the size of the S steering wheel, I just need a little more beefiness to it.

I've look around for steering wheel covers, but none fit the S steering wheel (autozone, etc.).

the search continues

I see absolutely no reason to change the s2000 steering wheel. Does not make sense to me.
