Deep Dish Steering Wheels: Every Deep Wheel We Stock, 70mm To 95mm

Deep dish is the only part of this subject where the wheel changes what your hands can do, not just where they sit. The rim stands well clear of the hub, so the wheel can spin back through your fingers without catching your thumbs, and that is why drift cars run them almost without exception.

We stock twenty of them between 70mm and 95mm. This page lists every one with its dish figure, diameter and price, explains why seven MOMO wheels at 70mm sit here while a 70mm OMP sits in the semi guide, and is honest about who should not buy one.

  • Twenty deep dish wheels in stock, from 70mm to 95mm
  • MOMO make eleven, OMP seven, plus one Sparco and one Sabelt
  • Really only three steps: 70mm, 85mm, and 90 to 95mm
  • The only dish that gives you thumb clearance when the wheel spins back
  • The one buy on this subject you cannot undo later, so measure first

What deep dish gives you that nothing else does

Deep runs 70mm to 95mm on our listings, so the rim sits between three and four inches forward of the mounting face. It is the biggest step in the range and the only one where the wheel changes how you use your hands, not just where they sit.

The reason is clearance. On a deep dish the rim stands well proud of the hub, so when you let the wheel spin back through your fingers your thumbs and knuckles are not catching the spokes or the boss. That is a real, physical benefit and it is why drift cars run them almost universally. Everything else about a deep wheel follows from that gap.

Thumb clearance

The rim stands clear of the hub, so the wheel can spin back through your hands without catching your thumbs. Nothing else on this site gives you that.

Reach without moving

Where the seat and column will not go any further, 95mm of dish brings the wheel to you. It is the last adjustment available on a fixed cabin.

20

Twenty to choose from

MOMO make eleven, OMP seven, plus one Sparco and one Sabelt. The second biggest group after flat.

Not with a quick release

A quick release adds about 60mm. On top of a 95mm wheel that is 155mm, and your elbows will run out of room long before that.

Why seven of these are 70mm and still called deep

If you compare this page against the semi dish guide you will notice something odd. Seven MOMO wheels here are 70mm, and the OMP WRC on the semi page is also 70mm. Same figure, two different guides.

That is deliberate. MOMO describe the Mod.07 as having a deep 72mm dish, and they apply the same language across the Mod.02, Mod.03 and the Model 03 and 07. OMP describe their 72mm RS as mid-depth dished. We follow each maker’s own wording on their own products, because overruling a manufacturer on their own catalogue is not our place.

What it means for you is simple. If you are shopping at around 70mm, look at both pages. The MOMO Model 07 and the OMP WRC put your hands in the same place to within a millimetre, whatever the label on the box says. The full explanation of why the words do not line up across brands is in the main dish guide.

The three real steps on this pageIgnore the labels and there are only three depths here: 70mm, 85mm, and 90 to 95mm. Seven wheels at 70mm, one at 85mm, and twelve at 90mm or 95mm. Pick the step, then pick the wheel.

Every wheel on this page seen from the side, on the same column and drawn to the same scale as the main dish guide, so the gaps you can see are the real proportions. The dashed line is the mounting face of your boss kit, and the dimension is how far forward of it the rim ends up.

Every deep wheel we stock, brand by brand

Twenty wheels across four brands. The tables carry every one with the figures off the listings, and the cards under each table are a shortlist worth starting with.

See all twenty with their photographsThe shop filters on the same dish figures this page is built from. Steering wheels filtered to deep dish gives you the full set with photographs, and you can stack a brand or a diameter on top of it.

MOMO: eleven, and the whole 70mm block

MOMO have the most here and they split cleanly in two. Seven wheels sit at 70mm: the Model 03 and 07, the Mod.02, Mod.03 and Mod.07 in its three finishes. Then the Model 08 sits alone at 85mm, and the Drifting, the Gotham and the Ultra Black Edition are the 90mm ones.

The Drifting and the Gotham are the wheels this whole category exists for. Both 90mm, both built so the rim clears the hub by a long way, and both bought almost entirely by people who want the wheel to spin back through their hands without catching. If that is what you are doing, buy one of those two and stop reading.

The Mod.07 in Heritage Wood is the other one worth calling out, because a 70mm deep wheel with a wood rim is an unusual thing and it looks superb in an old rally car. It costs £317.99 and it is the sort of part people keep.

OMP: the Corsica family, and the best value on the page

Six of OMP’s seven are 95mm, which is the deepest dish we sell, and four of those are a Corsica of some sort. The plain Corsica at £160 comes in 330mm and 350mm, the Corsica 330 is £166.95, the Superleggero is £230 with lighter spokes, and the Corsica OV is £270. The seventh is the Carbon D at 90mm.

The two Rally wheels are the value pick of the whole page. The Rally at £140 and the Rally Leather at £135.65 are both 350mm at 95mm dish, and they are the cheapest way into a proper deep wheel from anyone. If you want the depth and you do not care about the badge, buy one of those.

This is also where you see why so many rally cars run Corsicas. A 95mm dish on a 350mm wheel, on a car with a cage and a bucket seat, puts the rim exactly where a driver strapped in tight can actually work it.

Sparco and Sabelt: one each

Sparco make one deep wheel, the 325, and it is 95mm on a 350mm rim at £180. It is the deep end of a range that otherwise stops at 65mm, and it is a good wheel, but Sparco clearly are not chasing this part of the market.

Sabelt do the SW-390 at 90mm, and as with the rest of their range it is the same wheel as the flat SW-633 and the 65mm SW-465 with the spokes swept further back. At £149.89 it is the cheapest 90mm wheel we sell and it is the one to buy if you want the depth without the drift-car look.

Prices exclude VAT and are live at the time of writing. Every wheel here needs a boss kit specific to your car, which is a separate part.

Who should actually buy one

Drifting, first and clearly. The thumb clearance when the wheel spins back is a genuine benefit that no other dish gives you, and it is the one discipline where 90mm earns its place instead of just looking the part.

Rally and stage cars second. A cage, a bucket seat and a tight belt leave your arms in a fixed position, and a deep wheel is the only thing that comes to meet them. The number of Corsicas in rally cars is not fashion.

And anyone whose cabin has simply run out of adjustment. If the seat is as far forward as you can stand and your arms are still too straight, this is the fix.

Who should not: anyone fitting a quick release, and anyone who has not measured. A deep dish is the one buy on this subject you cannot undo. A spacer will add reach to a flat wheel later, but nothing takes 95mm back out of a wheel you already own, so if you are unsure, the flat guide is the safer starting point.

Measure before you commitDeep dish is the only part of this range where getting it wrong means selling the wheel on. Add up the boss, anything behind the wheel, and the dish, and compare it against where your hands sit now. Two minutes on the phone saves a return.

Why we say no to a quick release on a deep wheel

Where the standard wheel satthe boss face, where your wheel starts fromShallowest deep wheel, 70mm70mmMOMO Model 08, 85mm85mmMOMO Drifting, 90mm90mmOMP Corsica, 95mm95mmA 95mm wheel behind a quick releasequick release 60mm95mm dish155mm from the boss face

Drawn to scale from the mounting face of the boss kit. A quick release adds about 60mm before the wheel has started, so a 95mm wheel behind one finishes up 155mm out. That is why the answer on this page is to pick one or the other, not both.

What we would actually fit

For drifting, the MOMO Drifting or the Gotham. Both 90mm, both built for exactly this, and the choice between them is looks.

For a rally or stage car, the OMP Rally at £140. It is 350mm, 95mm deep, and it is the cheapest proper deep wheel from any of the four brands. The Corsica Superleggero at £230 is the same idea with lighter spokes if the budget allows.

For a road car where you just want the reach, the Sabelt SW-390 at £149.89. It is 90mm without looking like a competition part, and it sits in a range where you can see exactly what the flat and semi versions of the same wheel look like.

Garreth’s view, and it is the same one he gives on the phone: if you are genuinely torn between a semi and a deep, take the semi. A spacer will bring it closer later and nothing will push a deep one back. The exception is drifting, where the clearance is the whole point and you should just buy the 90mm.

Ring us on 0115 9893488 with the car, the seat and what you are using it for, and Cameron will tell you whether 70mm or 95mm is the right step before you spend anything. If you are not yet sure deep is the band you want, the semi guide and the shallow guide cover the two steps below this one.

Common questions

Does a deep dish make the steering heavier?

No. Effort comes from the diameter, not the dish. A 350mm wheel takes the same effort whether it is flat or 95mm deep. What changes is where your hands sit and how much clearance you have behind the rim.

Why are some 70mm wheels here and others in the semi guide?

Because we follow each manufacturer's own wording. MOMO call their 70mm wheels deep, OMP call their 70mm and 72mm wheels mid-depth. The reach is identical, so if you are shopping around 70mm, read both pages.

What is the deepest wheel you sell?

Anything at 95mm, which is the OMP Corsica family, the two OMP Rally wheels and the Sparco 325. Nothing we stock goes beyond 95mm.

Can I use a deep dish with a quick release?

We would strongly advise against it. A quick release adds about 60mm, so a 95mm wheel behind one sits about 155mm from the boss face. Your elbows run out of room and on many cars the indicator stalks end up behind the rim.

Is a deep dish worth it if I am not drifting?

Sometimes. If your seat and column have run out of adjustment and your arms are still too straight, yes. If you just like the look, buy a semi instead, because you get most of the reach and none of the getting-in-and-out problem.

What is the cheapest deep dish wheel?

The OMP Rally Leather at £135.65, then the OMP Rally at £140. Both are 350mm at 95mm dish, which is the deepest we sell.
