Unless youhave full hydraulic steering, in which case straight-ahead could be ANY orientation. That's why I went with a evenly-spaced 3-spoke wheel. The leather wrap on the Flaming River wheel has proven to be quite comfortable; I actually prefer the feel of that over the Isotta.

I have full hydaulic to the helm, not sure what difference that makes but whatever makes you comfortable is what you should use.

Just for clarification, the difference is with hydraulic steering the wheel can end up upside down when driving straight where with a symmetrical wheel (3 spokes evenly spaced) there really is no upside down.

I first saw this Isotta Carlotta Wheel featured on most of the new Cigarettes in the Cigarette Racing Team Lifestyle Magazine SMOKIN'... It was love at first sight. Then when Bill @ Diamond Performance told me that he could get me one in purple, I knew I had to have it!

LOL!! Sure does. I wonder who really makes all these steering wheels. Probably some outfit in China that sells them to a dozen different "name brand" companies for $30 each...
