NA aftermarket steering wheel "reach"

Question for you guys that have aftermarket steering wheels (BR? johnwag? anyone else?):

Was there a noticeable change one way or the other in the reach to the wheel compared to the stock airbag wheel? I measured the depth of the airbag wheel, from its mounting surface back to the face of the wheel it's 125mm. So, what's the total depth of your steering wheel, including the hub adapter? What kind of wheel and hub adapter are you using? (Dakai Boss, right BR?)

Dunno about the measurements and I've had it on too long to remember what the stock wheel is like. I don't recall it being significant.

I have the Daikei Boss Hub from RSpeed.

Cool... thanks for the feedback. I do believe I've made a decision on the wheel...

Nice! I love my Momo.

johnwag has a MOMO hub with his wheel. This combo increased the reach to the wheel. Same story for the Dino equipment in my Porsche. In both cases, it not only made the reach farther, but the wheel was lower (closer to the thighs/knees) and there was significantly reduced gap between wheel and turn signal/windsheild wiper stalks. If I ever drove the Porsche anymore, I'd use a quick release or a deeper wheel to get the desired reach.

Interesting... I ordered the Dakei Boss adapter with my MOMO wheel, so we'll see if I end up with the same situation. I could honestly stand a little more distance between me and the wheel, so this might be a good thing for me.

My ebay wheel/hub brought it almost a little too close to the turn signals, but I never had any problems, I think a hub + quick release should keep it about stock reach.
