Default I HATE my steering wheel - recommendations?

I hate my facelift classic, bus sized airbag steering wheel and want to replace it.

I've read that it can be a pain to get the right boss kit etc to cancel the indicators and airbag warning light so can someone give me some pointers for this.

Also, what size wheel are you aftermarket lads using? I've seen a few 330mm which look good, and maybe some 350's but i'm unsure what to go for.

Ideally looking for a Momo race or Jet or a simple black Sparco 3 spoke so let me know if you have anything that might interest me. Post up links to useful items if poss.

Cheers chaps

I use OMP boss. My car doesn't have air bag so no probs there and haven't had any problems with Indicators.

I've just fitted a Works Bell short boss,NRG quick release and a Momo 07 wheel
Works Bell boss was £119.00 delivered from Tokyo but really worth it.

Awsome bit of kit and only took 5 days including the weekend to come
