Taxelson Posted November 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 4, 2015 Looking for ideas on Best steering wheel replacement options, 75 z, I want the horn to function, thinking of a 350mm diameter, thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmg Posted November 4, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) 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 😊 PMG Edited November 4, 2015 by Pmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgimus-maximus Posted November 6, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 6, 2015 I think the 240z imitation wood steering wheel is best.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Abate Posted November 6, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) 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./M Edited November 11, 2015 by Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Abate Posted November 10, 2015 Share #7 Posted November 10, 2015 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./M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmg Posted November 10, 2015 Share #8 Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) 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. PMG Edited November 10, 2015 by Pmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Abate Posted November 11, 2015 Share #9 Posted November 11, 2015 This the one I was talking about earlier: http://jdm-car-parts.com/products/datsun-competition-steering-wheel-240z-260z-280z-510There is a picture of it on top of the stock wheel for comparison./M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
