Here's my Sparco steering wheel (the L and R stickers are gone now, the previous owner didn't know the difference between left and right...)

Love some of the wheels in this thread. Need to get a new one for my Mini, currently I have a horrible Metro wheel I believe! Horrible greyish/greeny colour. Needs replacing urgently.

 

How much difference does the wheel size make? Do smaller wheels really make that much difference in the steering? And can you get a 10" wheel with a smaller boss like a couple of the OMP wheels have in this thread?

 

Sorry for the slight hijack :P

 

Cheers,

Cam.

I only had my 10" mountney on for about 2 months, but didn't feel no different to steering etc. don't know why but first few times driving with it were hilarious :P parking wasn't that much difference really either. Was just like when I had a normal size wheel. Plus I was on 12" wheels at the time. 10" mountney look well cool though

Ok cool thanks man. I suppose because they're so small and light the steering isn't exactly heavy in the first place! Well that opens up my options anyway. 13" wheels are easier to find but I'm not in any particular rush.

 

Cheers,

Cam.

 

edit: just out of curiosity, what size is the standard Mini wheel? if it's different for each model, mine is a 94 Cooper. Would it be 12/13"??

I've got a 11" mountney fitted at the mo so pretty much the same. I got it for free and my 10" mountney is mint, so as the mini is used daily I didn't want to wear the 10" one lol
