Best ideas for steering wheel replacement, 1975 z

[Taxelson]

Looking for ideas on Best steering wheel replacement options, 75 z, I want the horn to function, thinking of a 350mm diameter, thoughts?

Looking to keep a classic look or more modern? Can refinish an old 240z wheel or go with momo, Nardi etc with the appropriate hub adapter. I personally like the Nardi classic and will be getting one with red stiching to match the boot. There is no best 😊

Then there is the retro racing look,

I think the 240z imitation wood steering wheel is best.

There's a repro of the Datsun performance wheel floating around on the internet that looks nice. Basically a stock wheel but smaller in diameter with a fatter, leather grip.

I agree, that's why I'm selling the momo

Have people found that the smaller diameter wheel paired with wider rims (8") makes the steering too heavy? I would expect the reduced leverage plus the larger contact patch to create a noticeable difference.

Something to consider in your choice, maybe.

I have 16x8 wheels with 225-50 and I wouldn't get smaller steering than stock. Would make low speed turns like parallel parking more of a task.

This the one I was talking about earlier: http://jdm-car-parts.com/products/datsun-competition-steering-wheel-240z-260z-280z-510

There is a picture of it on top of the stock wheel for comparison.

That is nice looking

Yes but does it look as sexy as this http://image.superstreetonline.com/f/33803633+w+h+q80+re0+cr1/modp-1111-02%2b1972-datsun-240z%2bsteering-wheel.jpg
