Hello all,
I have just measured my steering wheel from the outside to the other outside and its a 320mm wheel. I want to make sure I am comparing like for like with the ones I am looking at on eliseparts. Can someone confirm how the wheels are measured please ? Does anyone have any experience with either of these wheels -
I am wanting to go detachable and a little smaller (down to a 300mm), any issues with doing this ?
Thanks for any advice.
Dave.
Personal opinion 
Don’t like the leather Momo - replaced mine (it’s very heavy too!).
Flat bottom wheels - not my cup of tea, but I am a shortarse, so have no “kneeroom” problems!
I suggest suede - 300mm Sparco (like Jonnyfox’s) from Demon Tweeks http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MSPORT&pcode=SSW015P300SN, or the cheaper 300mm OMP Tricento (which replaced my Momo) www.ybracing.co.uk/page1.php?sitepage=4&part=1056
You’ll also need to buy a “Momo type” boss
Thanks for that. TBH I dont like flat bottom wheels either. I will take a look at those other two. Thanks again.
Sorry, forgot to ask …
Will I notice anything negative about going down a size from 320 to 300 ? I assume my measuring technique was correct then ?
Can’t think of anything negative…except steering is slightly heavier when parallel parking LOL!
PS PM sent
Hey Dave actually my measuring technique was all wrong when I bought mine but it’s a great wheel nevertheless, same shape as my old (05) wheel but slightly thicker (BMW like). Loads better to grip with or without gloves and haven’t really noticed any difference losing 20mm on the diameter. The boss on elise parts btw is a good well priced mod which I had done at the same time. JSR fitted it in no time at all.
Thanks guys.
JF - did you go detachable ? How much was it in total ?
The Sparco wheel seems to have gone up �10 from Demon Tweaks.
The boss was �137inc from eliseparts…I was fairly sceptical about it at first but it’s actually a very good quality product.
John (JDS) at JSRacing fitted mine. I had it done with loads of other stuff at the same time but he assured me he�d flown through it…I think only about an hour maybe two of Labour!
I totally love it now…feel like Lewis Hamilton 
Try mine out on the 30th Dave…?
That looks awesome, thanks for that.
Not sure if I will be there on 30th. Thanks for the offer and I hope I can give it a go. Cheers :O)
jonnyfox, do you remember the name (or order code) of your steering wheel?
I can’t find it in Demon Tweeks’ online store.
it is the same as the one in this pic, isn’t it?
Ive got a sparco alcantara wheel with boss going surplus which i had on s2. Same size as std airbag wheel i think with flat bottom and complete with boss.
If u want have a look at it can bring to oulton on 30th

Looks a little different in the picture but this is definitely the one… here
Great, thanks a lot for the link
btw what’s the size of the standard wheel (non airbag wheel), also 300 or 320 ?
Hi Dave,
I had a leather Momo 300mm on my Elise 160. Looked great, but not really mad on it… a bit slippery when going sideways and the steering effort went up too (old bugger!)
When I had my Exige ( 
) I bought that 320mm Sparco in Alcantara (suede 
) as well as the snap on/off boss from Elise Parts. SUPER wheel in every respect! (Especially making the getting in and out bit easier!!!)
The ONLY bad bit is over time, the Alcantara went a bit hard and shiney in the 3 and 9 positions… the solution is not to hold on too tight!!!
GREAT mod. I still have the orginal Exige wheel… (yes I know I should have swapped it back prior to selling… along with the AP rotors and the Emerald!!!) 
Std with airbag is 320 so guess non-airbag will be same.
Yep the same 320. The Sparco is great btw, same shape as my std but thicker.
