    right as nobody has replied ill explain how you measure it
    you get a tape measure and go out to your car and hold it accross and take a reading of roughly the width from top to bottom or accross
    please tell me the size

    Hey FatLadZ

    I assume you're talking about the actual hand grip circumference and not the overall diameter of the entire wheel?

    Ok, I've just measured the proper T5 GT leather one fitted to my car as standard and it's the 110mm chunky version.

    The other standard steering wheel is only 98mm in circumference.

    nope
    id also like to know your girth
    girth is important as my new T5 doesnt seem to feel right with the wheel thats on it.
    the car has half leather half alcantara and im unsure as to whether it should have an alcantara wheel on
