    Default Race Quick Release Steering wheel

    I am wanting to put a quick release racing steering wheel on my 1999 Miata. On E-bay I see many ranging in price from $50 to $350 for the wheel, hub and quick release combo. Any suggestions as to what I should get?

    Not necessarily. I'm sure some of the resident track rats will chime in on this.

    I am too tall and my legs are always compressed against the steering wheel. A smaller steering wheel will help.

    Are they legal for street use?

    Can't see why they wouldn't be. Have you seen what else is street-legal?

    Most eBay QR hubs are junk. The big NRG hubs are good, my slim NRG is garbage but I suppose the wheel is still attached to the car. Works Bell is the best but they are $500.

    I've got the large NRG hub and a Momo Mod 07 wheel and would recommend the combo. It's tight with no slop at all, has a very positive latch and release system and allows for the horn to be connected if you need it.

    Last time I had the car inspected, the inspector mentioned something about not being able to use a smaller wheel than was stock.

    The solution you're probably after is an adapter with added depth and a wheel with a bit more dish - it'll move the wheel closer to your lap and away from your knees.
