    Default 240mm Flat Bottom, Open Top Steering Wheel

    I've been looking for a new 240mm flat bottom, open top steering wheel. I can't seem to find one. Does anyone know where I can get one?

    TIA

    Alpha and others used to make 240mm wheels but they seemed to have disappeared off the market. Any of the suppliers who visit here have any idea why? a 240 or 230 mm wheel seems like it would have some market with FF FV F5 etc.

    Default Just a guess

    As open wheel car counts have diminished (at least here in the US), the number of wheels sold are almost certainly to have gone down. Once sales diminish it is no longer cost effective to manufacture and inventory the product. Now layer in that the difference between 240mm and 250mm is very small and it makes plausible sense.

    250 vs 240mm = <0.2 inch width per side.
