Yea, that might be it. Maybe in leather...I don't know, my hands get pretty sweaty. Suede might be nice. I found it in leather and it has a black horn button which I like better.

By the way, do you have to do anything to make sure that you blinker release mechanism still works?

As long as you install the adapter hub correctly, it'll work fine.

Nardi deep corn too. What you really need to do is sit, and hold each wheel, and see how you like them. I like nardi wheels due to the way they feel and drive.

Unless you are going to wear racing gloves, you don't want a suede wheel either, you want a leather one.

I don't get it...
First you asking about clearances, and when someone mentions spacers, you then tell them you want to look of a deep steering wheel?

So, now it just comes down to the way the steering wheel looks?

I run an R.E. Amemiya D-cut steering wheel, and I currently use a 50mm + 25mm spacer to fit my seating position.
I'll eventually pick up a Snap-Off detachment system and play with the spacers.

Not sure what you don't get... I did misspeak earlier when I said I was going to get a shortie hub. And yes, I want a deep dish wheel for both function and form.

I had never heard of the Snap-Off system before. I assume you are talking about the Teqnik system?

Now that I have looked at that I am going to research it a little more. I like their street system but that might get old having to use a key to get the wheel off. Maybe just go with the race system..

Thanks for the tip!

Okay, you start out by asking about dished steering wheels in your first post...

josh18_2k mentions using spacers...

To which you replied that you don't mind spending money (which doesn't make any sense, cause there are a lot of EXPENSIVE flat steering wheels out there)...

So, basically, you WANT a deep dish steering wheel because of the look and the position, but you are not willing to get a flat steering wheel and just use spacers (which you stated you are against)...?

You're right about not being able to hit the turn signals efficiently with an aftermarket flat steering wheel.
This is why I'm using spacers myself...

So what issues do you all have with switches?? I have a regular momo wheel with JUST the hub on the NA and neither my wife nor I have issues reaching the turn signals or other buttons.

I just don't understand what you mean and how a steering wheel purchase can be so complicated.
