My current wheel is the original Bus wheel, given that i'm not planning to change the seats i think a flat wheel might be better?

My old wheel from about 20 years ago Shane, still had standard seats in it when this photo was taken so it wasn't too bad reaching the wheel but once i put the Cobra Clubmans in it was a bit of a stretch.

Cheers for the pic Chong, the 14in wheel still looks sporty compared to the bus wheel and i remember how hard it was to turn the wheels at low speed with the 13in wheel on my old car.

Thanks everyone for the input, saved me from buying something i wouldn't have been 100% happy with :-)

What's wrong with the bus wheel? I'm pretty certain Bathurst was won and the first 9 places used a bus wheel :lol: Isn't that sporty enough?

You're right and I apologise. I had a off day at work and it was either the internet or yell at the missus. Well, she's bigger than all of you blokes so...

Can we get a wooden version of the bus wheel? It's got to be at least 15" in diameter?
