Smaller diameter steering wheel?
I don't know what it is about this wheel but I feel like I'm driving a bus. Does anyone make an aftermarket wheel that has a smaller diameter?
Thanks!

Really? I love the C63 wheel... Can you post a picture? I'm thinking someone may have replaced your wheel with a non-amg wheel which looks similar but is actually way bigger.

Lol just kidding, but I love the size of our stock wheel, not too small, but feels great. I hate driving other cars, makes the wheels on those feel like buses for sure.

This is too dark. I'll post a better pic in the morning. I'm used to a 996 wheel.
Maybe I just need to change my seating position.

P.S.--And, not that it's any business of yours but I believe my hands are of average size.

Are the Pre-fl steering wheels smaller than the FL steering wheels?
Anyone that's driven both, can you provide some insight. From pictures, it looks like the pre-fl wheels look smaller with their flat bottom. I want to upgrade to the FL, but not at the cost of a larger wheel.

I like the stock wheel for street driving but the rim is too (the 12 year old me is trying to choose my words carefully) thick for me to grip while wearing gloves at the track (nope. it still sounds funny in my head).

How much smaller do you want? 12"?
Remember even with PS you still have to operate the lever that is the wheel so by going smaller you will need more steering muscle from you.
