I have been hearing mixed opinions about the 350mm versus the 
360-365mm wheel in an A3 Golf.  People say the 350mm blocks the 
gauges but this is the size wheel Momo uses in their ads with the 
european model A3.

Also what size is the stock wheel, mine is in the shop now until next 
week and I want to order this this weekend.

I use the 89 and later hub right?  Any special tools or mods needed?  
Airbag is already gone.

thanks

Chris

I have a Momo Monte Carlo which is 350mm.  Trust me, it does **NOT** block my view 
of the gauges - at all.  And I'm one tall MoFo, which increases the chance of getting my 
view cut off.  Anybody telling you it cuts off view either has never seen one or drives 
with their head sticking up and out the sunroof....

BTW I really LIKE the thing.. the slightly smaller diameter RULES, it feels a helluva lot 
better than the thin spindly stock thing, the horn button is where it belongs, in the 
middle, and I don't have to worry about breaking an arm or fingers during an airbag 
detonation...

I have a Momo Monte Carlo too, but mine is a 320mm (12.6 inches), I'm
6'-2"
and I can see my dash and guages clearly.  The smaller steeringwheel
also
aids in getting in and out of the car as I no longer have to tuck my
legs under the stock steeringwheel.

Ditto.
