Is 330mm for a steering wheel too small?

I think I'm either going for 330 or 350 mm. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Heres the one I am getting.

I highly advise not getting a flat-bottom steering wheel, they suck so much. If you're in a formula car where the steering is 1/2 turn lock to lock, it's fine, but such is not the case in a BMW. I had a momo apache, and it was the worst mistake ever.. to each his own, but i'd reconsider.

330mm is really too small, 350mm is the best size.. 330mm will eclipse the top of your gauges pretty bad.

Thanks for the great info Alex. This one is about the same price. What do you think of it. It has suede on the wheel and another member of the board, pete, told me he likes the suede a lot.

EDIT: its 350mm too.
