Default Steering Wheel options

Present wheel is a 14" air bag Momo which is a little too big, both in overall diameter and rim 'thickness'

I would like to go perhaps 1/2" smaller on dia to 13.5" (~340mm) which I have on my wagon and like

Can you recommend any suitable options

Only one I've seen so far which is a possible is the Momo Jet

Also - how easy are they to fit, and get the self canceling stalks and everything else working properly? The one on my wagon never succeeded in getting the self canceling working properly

Thanks

I want to change mine aswell but all the good ones have the red sti stiching which i think is not a good look in a wrx.

Sounds about right 360/370mm ish

350 is perfect, get the right boss kit and the self cancel, air bag nonsense is easily over come

Was just thinking on the way home for lunch my Nardi Torino was just great. Can cross arms right over, one handed loop turning, small enough to drop low into lap, blah blah. And yes 53 - it's 350

The MOMO WRX one just doesn't do it
