i was just wondering what the minimum legal diameter for a steering wheel on a road legal car is? i recently bought a wheel of ebay turns out to be really small 32cm to be exact was just wondering if it's legal to have it on in vic?
i dont think it will stay long though.. i can see my dials properly and is hard to turn with etc...

dont you need to keep the airbag if it is factory fitted?
I know when they go off I have to replace the airbag bylaw, i can't recall if the ED had the airbag fitted??

dont they measure them from the centre to the middle of the grip?
most commercially available wheels are either 320mm or 350mm.. dun risk it mate.. we gonna have enough trouble on our ps.. they gunna try get us for whatever they can.. so make it reallllllly hard for them..

have you noticed it being any sharper at higher speeds.. i mean.. i thought the lock to lock on those things wern't to bad anyway.. if it feels wierd.. get rid of it ;)
If you drove something like a old 505 with a large lock to lock.. then sure a smaller wheel woudl be great, but .. if your keeping it for looks... wake up to yourself mate ;) |

If it was all black or something it'd look perfectly fine... but for some reason it looks a bit odd and out of place. : /
Keep it on for a while and see if you adjust to it... it could just feel weird because you're not used to it. =) |
