Steering Wheel size

What is the size of the stock steering wheel? Curious as to how much smaller the RUF/FVD 340mm is than the stocker?

From what I was told... 365mm

I have the CF Daytona 340mm .... a lil getting used to at first.. but I love it... not to mention I have the "limited edition" airbag to go with it

Bobby_P is infamous around these parts
I switched mine to an FVD 340mm unit also--best mod you can do for the car in my opinion. The stock steering wheel is far to large (like a bus!) and not nearly thick enough.

As a bonus if you are tall the 340mm wheel provides much better ingress/egress than the stock wheel.

Install was super easy too.

my friend got the 340mm FVD wheel in his 997GT3. That is the best wheel I've ever droven. I want to dump my factory CF wheel after the drive. Here I've took some pix.

I have an FVD wheel and 340 MM is huge difference over stock. Best of all, if you're tall, the smaller diameter wheel give you better legroom.
