    370 MM Steering Wheel

    Installed a 370 mm steering wheel to replace the 350 mm one I currently had in place.

    I never liked that the Speedo was partially obscured. Also, on long drives, my arms start feeling it.

    Much nicer.

    Thought about reinstalling the stock wheel but at 400 mm it is too big (rubs against my thighs).

    Hello,
    Compared to the 400 mm stock one, don't you feel vibration in the steering wheel when you use one of those 350/370 mm ?

    When I use my 370 mm Nardi wood steering wheel, it starts to vibrate around 50 mph (and no problem with my stock 400 mm).

    Interesting. I would think the large diameter wheel would amplify the effect not dampen it.

    That's what I thought, but in fact the Nardi is much lighter, you can check the difference on those vid :

    And no vibration with the VDM :
