For road racing, I am wanting a quick release and short hub. Just started looking and as usual, there are tons of options. Hoping some of you fellow racers can help me weed through what's probably been discussed already. I like suede and use gloves for racing. I see options for deep Dish? Info overload. What set up is best for road race / track set up?

***UPDATE***
Just got this 320mm flat bottom installed along with STATUS belts and harness bar.
NRG gen 3.0 quick release in blue
NRG short hub

It's all personal preference. Different quick releases move the wheel varying distances toward the driver. The deep dish even more so. It is all about what feels right to you.

Good tip on deep dish. I'm trying to avoid closer to driver issues. Obviously personal preference is warranted, but curious if the smaller diameter or same diameter has had any experience discussion on forum by racers?

Well, as always, my A.D.D. and lack of patience made me buy a Momo wheel, flat bottom, black suede. Got the Gen 3 NRG quick release in blue and NRG short hub. The wheel is 320mm. Might be to small???

I've driven a car with a 320mm Momo wheel and I really liked the size actually. I have a 330mm Personal and I think it's a great fit. I imagine 350mm is close to stock size, and since I went 330, I've always hated autocrossing Evos with stock steering wheels. It just feels too big to me. All about personal preference.

I run a 350mm deep on the Evo and a 330mm on my miata. I prefer a little larger (350) in the evo.

I have a 350mm Momo in my car. It's only slight smaller than the stock steering wheel, but is a very noticeable difference. I like it a lot. The 330mm feels very small imo.

Does smaller make for twitchy feeling ?

I think it's going to be to small personally. Twitchy too. My 275/35 Hoosiers will probably make themselves known. I'll report back with it installed.

Funny how the big guy (6'2" 280lb) likes small wheels

More knee room. Same thing I found spacing it off the hub.

A ~20mm difference in wheel diameter isn't going to be as big of a difference as you might think. As I said in my first post, it is all personal preference. Some people are going to love 350mm, some 330mm, and there will be some guy that loves his 260mm square wheel.

Something that no one has mentioned yet is hand size. If you have big hands, you are going to need a wheel with a "thicker" wheel so grip feels more natural. Someone with smaller hands will need a "thinner" wheel.

Then comes seating position. Did you move your seat mounting further back? Stock seating set up? Do you have long legs? Long torso? All of this will effect what wheel/hub set up works best for you. Figure out where you are going to need the wheel for YOU to be comfortable and purchase a set up accordingly....

I might sell it. Save you $50. I ordered another 350mm Momo non flat bottom. I have race at TWS with NASA and don't know if I want this small of a wheel?? Just drove on street for first time and it feels great and doesn't seem much different. Might love it! Since I did not see much discussion, I will write a summary after my track test n tune Wed.
