How many steering wheels do I need?
Well, as I told you before, it started very harmlessly. In my first (old) Porsche was an old, patinaed and beat upu steering wheel that somehow fascinated me, even if it was way too big, bus driver style and the grip was too thin. Then I started looking around, on swap meets, in thrift shops and online. And then I discovered a lot of nice old steering wheels and bought them for whenever. A few I had on the walls in my former garage. But a lot of steering wheels also ended up in boxes in the warehouse.
Back to the initial question. How many steering wheels do I need? Generally speaking, one for each car. But I don’t want to make it that simple. Let’s put it this way, it depends. Do I need more than one steering wheel? I would say yes.
Lots of Momo Steering Wheels
Best Momo Steering Wheel for every purpose
Maybe you are like me, I use a car for the track and for the street, although on very different streets. In the city, on the highway and sometimes I just drive through the canyons, for example the Angeles Crest Highway. And without a joke, it often happens that I change the steering wheel for that particular purpose. I don’t have a quick release device, it brings the steering wheel too close to me and with my height of 6”4’ it becomes uncomfortable. So loosen 6 Allen screws each time, change the steering wheel and tighten again.
Best Momo Steering Wheel for a lot of reverse parking and slow city traffic
If I’m in the city a lot, I have to steer a lot at very slow speeds, I have to park, which all requires a lot of steering work, especially with the limited slip differential. At those times, I’m super happy with my semi-dish 370mm Momo Prototipo. Due to the larger diameter, I need less force when turning in, which makes parallel parking in reverse at the side of the street much easier.
Best Momo Steering Wheel for canyon carving
And if I want to drive through the canyons, I prefer to take a semi-dish Momo Prototipo in 350mm diameter. The steering is a bit more compact, especially with faster turns and the grip size is perfect even with light gloves. And a little closer due to the semi-dish, but still great for relaxed driving.
Best Momo Steering Wheel for long highway hours
Sometimes I drive longer distances, on the highway or up the way to Laguna Seca, straight on for quite some time. On those occasions I like to sit and steer in a very relaxed way. For that purpose I prefer to use my beloved Momo Jackie Stewart Steering Wheel, 350mm diameter, flat and with thick grip, that makes driving straight on super easy, also because the arms are in a even more relaxed position on the steering wheel.
