if the one on the left sits 2 inches closer to the driver, tell the driver to sit 2 inches further back ...

Erm, why are you asking us? Steering wheel choice is an entirely personal issue. Try then both and go with the one that feels better...
FWIW my car came with a Nardi on it, but it now has a 330mm wheel. Much nicer...

The MY00 looks much, much nicer for a start, and an airbag's quite nice to have in an accident..

I have had a face full of airbag a few years back, left me with cuts, grazes & bruises, and damaged the nerve in my hand where the steering wheel ripped open

Probably nicer than a face full of steering wheel though, that one on the left looks like it'd leave a nice imprint on your nose..

Depends where you like the wheel to be, I prefer it farther away than close up. I think the right hand one looks better anyway.

I though Insurance companies were a bit funny about removed airbags?

Most practical way to turn it off is to take the instrument panel out and physically remove the bulb.

Hanley I havent completly decided yet wether to fit either of them
But If I do change the wheel then I will be keeping my Momo one, so if I sell the car, I can put it back to standard
You tried Grade-A ?

Depending on your size and leg length, you may be better off with the deeper dished wheel. For the best control and leverage of the wheel, the undersides of your wrists should sit on the top of the wheel when you are sat back in your seat, and your arms are outstretched. It is difficult for me to get this with the seat right back to accomodate my legs.

Its certainly a lot better to drive with your arms fairly straight. Its easier to cross them round corners!
