Is it just me or do you like it better when the steering wheels is super small. I like driving my car cause the steering wheel is tiny, able to turn easier. When i get in any of our other cars i gotta deal with like a 18-20in steering wheels which sucks cause its harder to turn sharp.

Its almost like driving a go cart.

I think you're exaggerating a bit...unless you drive some old car from around the 50's. Most steering wheels are 15"16"....the grant I have I believe is 14" anything under 13" is not legal according to DOT. I like the 14" wheel I have, its fine I don't know if you necessarily turn better, but it feels nicer.

 

well aftermarket wheels are smaller generally. Then again stock wheels on our birds and maros werent exactly big.

With my Grant wheel I have more clearance for my left knee, =).

 

Maybe you're just use to having something really small in your hands?

 

 

thats not funny guys.


But i'm use to the smal wheel, just think about it its easier to sping soething small fast than it is to turn something big.

 

That is too dam funny......Shane, why dont you take a pic of your "tiny" steering wheel up close with a tape measure showing the width of it. Its probably not as tiny as you think.

 

 

I have a Grant steering wheel, I beleive its 14"... but I agree it is alot easier to drive and control. Especially when you're going sideways and stuff... you can control it like a go cart.

 

I have a 13in Grant in my car & its easier for a Bigger body person to get behind. I always had problems adjesting my husbands Stock wheel in his Iroc.

 

yes it is, and you know it.

and yeah.. small aftermarket wheels kick ***.

 

The Grant challenger is 13.5 inches in diameter, the perfect size as far as I'm concerned.

 

larger wheels are prefable if you're going really fast.


and ive never had any trouble whipping the stock wheel around.... but im used to working with big things.

 

well, i'm used to working with thick things.

but back on topic cause you guys are acting so immature.

The smaller wheels seem to be easier and faster to turn. Its like spinnging a small gear compared toa bigger one, the bigger one require more concentration to turn as fast as the small one.

 

gear down there, big rig. Just having some harmless fun

i totally agree with you. the go-kart feeling is awesome.

 

lmao so immature ya thats us but hey were having fun at your expense so its all good

And what youre saying is common sense but youre still not saying it properly. A big steering wheel is physically easier to move it takes less effort, however with a smaller steering wheel it requires more effort but you dont have to move your hands as far to get just as much turn out of the steering wheel.

I drove a viper a little while ago and this is the best picture i have of the steering wheel

Ive been trying desperatly to figure out what type of wheel it was but with no luck. It couldnt have been bigger then 13 though it felt soooo tiny and i freaking loved it

 

AAHAHAHAHAHA!!

*Ahem* sorry. Anyone know how big the MOMO Millenium wheels are?

 

I prefer my stock steering wheel, it's not too big and it is way softer than any aftermarket steering wheel that I have seen. Also, it is in perfect condition and buying an aftermarket one would be an incredible waste of money IMO. But if yours is ratty and gooey then there are a lot of nice looking Grant's out there.


If you like really small ones maybe you should get one of those old pimp-mobile ones that are like 8" and made out of chain with a ball on it for easier spinning.


ehe, we had one of those on a forklift at a place I used to work.

 

Hey guys, try to stay on the subject of the thread.

 

I like my ~13" grant wheel better than the stocker

 

What kind of Grand wheel is that? I really like that wheel!!

How big are 2002 SS stearing wheels? My dad has one and I absolutely love the size of it.

 

ive got the 13" grant wheel too, the extra leg room is nice
but i definately love how much less my arm has to travel to turn the wheel, i also have the quick ratio box and an underdrive pulley setup so it feels really nice... easy to get carried away with too, a tiny little turn and you've just crossed 2 lanes on the highway.. yet another reason noone but me drives my car :P

 

I don't know much about the wheel since it came with the car but I'm glad that it did, =)

 

Thats the same one thats in mine as well.

 

i can care less about my steering wheel, just as long as its not fat, skiny is cool and easy to grab on to

 

I prefer the 13" wheel myself

 

Just go all out and get one of these:

That Sparco looks real nice, even without all the extra doo-dads I bet it'd be pretty cool, and its 13" in diameter, which is probably adaquete.

 

Ask powermite. He's got one in his TA that matches his custom trim rings perfectly. I'm happy with my not-so-leathery-leather knockoff because it looks cool and felt a million times better than my stocker airbag wheel.

 

I like my Grant wheel over my stock one... IMO, with the big stock wheel, the steering felt too light and too lazy. With the smaller Grant wheel, it takes a little more effort and just feels a little more presice.

Just my $.02

 

i have the same one as krazzy and wwnf. it was SOOOO much diff than the stocker. response is nice. my friend that is all about keeping the stock look didnt like it when he seen it. but after he drove the car he liked the diffrence.
what makes mine even nicer is i got it from a friends 84 Z that was going to that big F bod yard in the sky for FREE and its practicly brand new.

 

First off, that was funny as hell man. Dont be so uptight and laugh at it, because you know it was funny.

Secondly I think i can help ya out doug. This is my steering wheel.
Looks familiar? I think its the same one your talking about in your pic. If so its a Grant Wheel. Says Corsa on the bottom of mine on the flat part. This is the best pic i have but it is flat on the bottom like yours. Got new better ones but wont have them scanned until tomorrow.

Check it out

edit: now that i look at the two its not the same wheel. Very close in style, but def not the same exact one.
