steering and suspension Just how Unmanageable is a 320mm wheel on the Street?

[2002Scoob]

I've got a unique opportunity to purchase a stacked-logo Momo Prototipo and 2002 Hub combo, but it's a 32cm wheel...

 

I've driven a 350 wheel and I can tolerate the amount of force input needed for a street car, but I don't have any experience with smaller.

 

What's ya'lls thought? Spring for it or pass? What would you feel a fair price?

Indicator / wipe stalks project beyond wheel = not my cup of tea. 

 

Wait for a 380mm one *kisses fingers*

I had a small (360) steering wheel on my car w/ 205 tires when I got it. It took some serious manhandling to park. No thanks. Now I run 13/70/185 with a big ole 16" NK steering wheel, and life is good!

ask to try it out first. It's only one bolt

I've got a 34.29cm (13.5"), measured at the outside diameter, steering wheel running on 195/50-15's.  It's great until you have to parallel park.  Then I get a workout, which I don't mind, no big deal.  It looks good and feels great driving.  Go for it!  Have no idea about fair price.

+1.   Add some more air to your front tires too. I have a small MOMO wheel on the tii.  Hard to park but love the grip and feel.

You forget about how hard it is to turn and park after you get rolling.

I saw that wheel a little while ago and asked a friend who is a serious Momo collector about it, he said it's priced about right, but the reason why it's less than a usual stacked Momo is the small size which is less desirable especially amongst the 02 crowd. Looks like it's in great shape however

I would go bigger.  That's going to be a pain to turn when going slow.

Bigger is better. How much greater is to to feel thick leather hyde between your fingers? With a larger circumference wheel, you typically achieve greater girth as well. 

 

 

I'm a 380mm man myself. Anything smaller, and I'm bored.

I'm not embarrassed- I have a small wheel.  Wanna feel my biceps?

Hahahahaha. Holy Crap. I love waking up to stuff like this. Thanks Danco/Toby.

I've got a tiny Dino on my 914 and I love it, even though I cant see my gauges through it.  Lol.

 

But the 914 does not have the engine sitting over the front wheels.  Steering is always pretty light, even when parked.

I run a 320 Momo, love it. It can fight back in tight parking lots at very low speeds, but at all other times I love it!
