Trying to select one, and thought I'd ask for opinions/experiences on a few topics.
280mm or 260mm? (or some other size?)
I reckon the steering on a Caterham is sufficiently light that the smaller size will be fine, unless it obscures the gauges, but even then there are work-arounds - invert gauges, relocate gauges, etc.
Round or "D"-shaped?
My knees clear with ease, so I see no advantage to anything other than round.
Suede or leather grip?
I have no experience w/ a suede wheel, but it seems like it would offer superior grip while wearing gloves, but wear out more quickly than leather. Also might feel kinda funky if not wearing gloves (?).
Momo/Racetech/Sparco/Whomever
I don't really care who makes the damn thing as long as it is functional. I would think a lesser-known name might actually be better because some punk might be tempted to steal a wheel with a bright yellow "Momo" logo on it, but that might be less so if it's just "Acme" or whatever (too many Roadrunner cartoons).
TIA
