I have got a Corsa GSi/SRi 3 spoke non-airbag wheel on my Corsa currently... but I think it's a bit big. Does anyone know what diameter they are? I can't be arsed go outside to measure lol.
I've been thinking of swapping it for something which feels nicer in my hands so looking at around 350mm - seems not too big, not too small... will it make much of a difference to the feel of my steering at all compared to the current bigger wheel?
Finally does anyone know any good places to buy from? I only want a cheapish one nothing too extravagent, just want something which feels/looks nicer.
Cheers

I think that these Richbrook ones look smart, they are not too dear either.

The smaller the wheel, the less it feels you need to turn it. Thinking about it, I tink that may be the wrong way round

Yeah thats exactly the kinda thing I'm after. I think 350mm is sensible enough seeing as I aint got PAS.
Anyone know how big the 3 spoke gsi one is?

That's the one I have, it's really comfy, no problems steering without PAS, but then again PAS is for pussies

Can't remember off the top of my head, 350mm or something?
All Richbrook R1 wheels are the same size, so you should eb able to find out.

Smaller wheel will need more effort. Won't be much though.

The main thing is to avoid a wheel that's so small it blocks out your dials...
