Default Steering Wheel Setups
Just wondering what aftermarket setups you guys have - both for the wheel, boss and perhaps spacers.. I'm looking for upgrade and need some ideas. Any photos?

It's a works bell boss with an ebay 320mm wheel - needs re-trimming as the suede is looking a bit thread-bare. Works bell is the most comprehensive boss set-up I've encountered but it's at a price, worth it in my opinion for late model cars because of the airbag and horn wiring

Don't you guys find that it brings the steering wheel too close?

I didnt bother with the quick release boss as i felt it would. Having driven my brothers evo that has one it also made it a stretch to reach the indicators.

For track driving it helps to have the wheel closer

It gives a more intimate feel and you (maybe subjective) get more feedback. Definitely improves the drive.
