I work at a Jaguar/Land Rover dealership, and I am almost positive in saying that the steering wheel on a full size range rover is at maximum, the same size as that on our ls1 camaros, if not smaller... so, why is the wheel so damn large on our cars?

Are there any others out there who seriously dislike the size of the wheel? Any legit solutions to this, other than an aftermarket racing steering wheel? Can a vette steering wheel be put on?

so we have more space to position our hands?

Install a smaller one if you think it's too big.

The stock wheel never bothered me before, but now that I have a 350mm momo I would never go back to the stock cheap wheel. Only reason I changed the wheel the first time was because it was starting to crack.

i have a smaller aftermarket one too and i like it a lot more. the stock one seemed awkwardly large to me and i wanted a quick release anyway so i went smaller. i don't remember the exact but 350mm sounds about right.

On the contrary, when I first test drove a T/A I was surprised about how small the wheel was (Camaro's and Firebird's have the same wheel size, right?). I never actually measured, but it felt awkward.

I was thinking about getting an aftermarket wheel, but I use the buttons on the wheel too much and don't think I wanna ditch the airbag just yet

Yeah, the factory wheel looks like it has a kids lunch box in the middle of it, and the aluminum hoop in them breaks fairly easy, and I have to agree about the aftermarket steering wheels, they're so much nicer then stock. I've got a Momo COMPETITION, 350mm steering wheel and it a lot nicer than stock.

'99 and earlier Camaros had a slightly smaller wheel diameter. It's not drastically smaller, but the difference is enough that I notice it when jumping from my '98 to my '02. I do like the smaller one better.

Seems small when I've been driving my '70s Caprice.

haha. when you guys say aftermarket, you are all referring to momo wheels and other airbag-less wheels, correct? Like i said, I've put my *** in many many modern cars, and none have a wheel as big as this..especially in a sports car.

also, could i put a corvette wheel on, or is it more complicated than just unbolting one and putting on another? and like m4n14c said, i dont think i'm ready to give up my airbag yet, I'm too young!

dont know. im thinking thatll look good on a honda used for drifting.

I see where you're coming from, but.... I do get my car sideways quite often...and also, I feel like our cars have a red and black theme in them. You know how the camaro writing is red on the center console? It's a stretch, but I think the wheel would compliment that

if it works for you thats all that matters.

I would love a smaller wheel, but then again, I don't know how wise it is to have no airbag on my daily driver. granted, i've never been in an accident

Im only 26 years old and I don't mind driving around without an airbag, the car without airbags cant be any more dangerous then my motorcycle.
