There are 370mm MTech1 'wheels about, but they are hard to find. I waited 4 years for one to come my way. The more common MTech1 is the standard 385mm.
370mm MTech2 'wheels seem to be more common though.
If you want smaller than 370mm you'll have to go for an aftermarket 'wheel.

Depends on your preference, and i suppose your style of driving to some extent.
Personally, i like my old bus wheel on my cab, i also like my power steering disconected.
Decent small wheels are quite expensive, but here is as good a place as any to get
either the Tec 1 or 2 wheel. Plus, you will also get the added bonus of people who know
these steering wheels inside out, so less likely to be sold something that is,nt what it may be advertised as. Stick up a wanted, good luck.

tech 1/2 wheels even if the large size will feel much better than the 4 spoker

+1, and it leather not plasticBlitz wrote:Tech I larger size is still a massive improvement as its thicker rimed.
I like the tech 1 wheel, especially in a chromie. Tech 2 wheel looks a little more modern
