-=JEFF=-,

I almost went with a two tone Isotta that was black/tan w/polished spokes and then settled for the more subtle Competition. I like your choice in the Nero though. What helped me was to feel all the different steering wheels too and fortunately I went to Tokyo Auto Salon so I could do that last Jan. If I get a chance later I can measure stock wheel, my Momo Competition is 13.5" to give you a comparison. It really makes the stock feel like for a bus driver and looks butt ugly in comparison. I also like the fact with these you can quick release it and it sure makes getting in and out easy, plus no putting weight on the column.

Yes, that is the wheel I have. Sorry, it is not mounted yet and won't be until around Nov when I finish school (been buried for the past year and a half working on another degree).

The stock wheel is 15" from outer diameter compared to 13.5" with the Nero and Competition. They have smaller, but I like this size and seems perfect. Best wishes.

I believe most Momo wheels are actually 350mm (13.8) diameter and if you liked the feel/control of the Momo and you were considering others that mention SAE dimensions you might want to shop 13 3/4. Is there a difference in actual feel? Some people do well with smaller diameter wheels and some after they spend time with them it becomes a nuisance. I know a couple that have made changes to steering wheels smaller in diameter but later changed back just for the feel.

That is what I thought all this time until I actually measured mine. Definitely no bigger than 13.5" so not sure where the 350mm comes from even though that is what they show as specs.

No - I've never seen or would expect to see one, the system that ignites and triggers them are very different among the manufacturers and then there's the "liability" issue!
