Not being very happy with either the design or size of the standard supplied steering wheel, I changed mine to an 11" [300mm] leather rimmed Motolita wheel shortly after buying it, and found that it made the whole steering experience better. For a start, I could see over it, and had more room between the side of the cockpit and the rim, as well as finding it easier to get in and out without removing it. It did make the steering fractionally heavier, as you would expect, but I find it still quite manageable when parking, although, it is quite hard to hustle around sharp bends at speed, as the steering weights up.

So, for those of you still considering a wheel, I would wholeheartedly recommend going for a smaller wheel, whether wood rimmed or leather. For those who want to see what my wheel looks like look back in the gallery for my black/tan car.
