Hi guys,

My Civic came completely start excluding an aftermarket Nardi 350mm dished steering wheel.
I did a bit of research and found that the wheel does sit about 4 inches too close to me (seat all the way back) so am looking to change to a flat faced wheel.

My other criteria is, I feel the 350mm wheel is too small, as steering feels extremely heavy at very low speeds. I by all means find it okay, but dont think its practical. My worry though is a 370mm wheel of the aftermarket variety will be too large / a bit ugly.


Anyone have any experience with a 370mm wheel. Given my criteria the only option I like is below:

I am not interested in fitting PAS, as steering / responsiveness feels great once on the move.

Imagine this is what it will look like:

Isnt "too" bad, but is definitely on the large side!


My other option is to buy a bog standard EJ wheel (to match my N1 / Racebase interior). But they look horrid.

Depends on your priorities I guess. I'd go for function over form, so wouldn't worry if it's bigger so long as you like it.

Fair point, I think it would be a lot better with the larger wheel. Thanks dude, will look at ordering it soon (without the Porkie center cap!).
