Default Aftermarket Steering Wheels

I need some personal opinions from you guys with aftermarket steering wheels. How was the handling, steering and overall experience after switching from the stock wheel? And are you happy with the aftermarket wheel you picked? I am thinking about picking up a MOMO Steering Wheel 350mm Black Chrome Trek-R

Notice anything different in the steering, because of the difference in diameter between the stock and aftermarket wheel?

No nothing I didn't measure but I think both wheels were the same size.

Really? Ill have to measure. I know when I added one to my 99 GSX I had to crank on the wheel a bit more while making sharp turns due to the smaller diameter of the aftermarket wheel vs stock.

I've had the MOMO tuner 350mm on both my Hondas and the steering just feels great. You feel like you're driving a sportier car, even wheel response and they're fatter grips on the hands.

350mm will definitely be smaller than the stock Fbody BUS steering wheel. I may do it again to my car, but who knows.

Air Bag thought doesn't really bother me too much.

I'm confused, shouldn't you have to turn less? Imagine the bus steering wheel, they turn for ages just to go where they want to go.

But a smaller wheel feels more responsive.
