Steering Wheel ?
 
What is your recommendation on the size of steering wheel I should go with. I am interested in the Momo Suede with the stripe on top but in my searches I come across 350mm & 330mm, obviously 1 is bigger than the other, but what size would be your preference, what is "normal"? I'm using the old fountain wheel for testing, but definitely want to upgrade to a quick release Momo/Sparco, etc thanks in advance for any and all insight and apologize for my ignorance

13.8" is normal......

Steering wheel size is directly related to the size of your balls. The bigger your balls the quicker you want your steering, thus you need a smaller wheel to clear the larger balls in your lap. Smaller balls take up less space so you can run a larger wheel. So the size of your balls determines how quick you turn.

I have a 6 inch chicano chrome chain link wheel I've been saving since the 70's, maybe that would float ya. :-)
