Thinking of getting a steering wheel.

I know there's a lot of options and I'm not sure of a few things. Size, material, quick release and brand. I'm kind of leaning towards a quick release suede OMP. Thoughts, pics and recommendations welcomed. Thanks.

I've always thought these looked great while retaining OEM style.
$$$, though.

Are you looking for an airbag one? Quick release doesn't usually have an airbag right?

Here are some pics of my FVD 340mm wheel (comes in all kinds of finishes)

It feels a lot more like an ///M steering wheel in width and diamter. The smaller diameter also add just enough effort (less leverage) to add a bit of feel to the experience. I love and recommend it.

I hadn't seen the 'thick' versions.... the DCT and FVD ones look amazing.

I have a dct carbon fiber perforated model that's thicker than stock for a year now. Love it!! Great build quality still looks as good as the day I got it. And there prices are pretty reasonable too.
