Is it me or is the S steering wheel on B5's massive???I drive a Ford focus for work and it the wheel just seems more compact and easier to manage when turning. Is there a smaller vag unit that fits on orginal boss that is smaller???

The Focus may be a station wagon, but it's still lighter than even the smallest-engined A4 sedan - the 1,6.
A larger steering wheel requires less effort to turn, even if the rack was non-assisted.
Same principle with larger brake rotors vs smaller ones...
Less effort, same result.

there is no "boss kit" on a standard steering wheel...
The boss is integral to the wheel itself.
You'd either have to buy a boss kit and a aftermarket wheel, or find a wheel from another model of audi/vw that fits, is smaller, and has the same airbag hookup
A3/S3 ones might work? but i dont know if they're actually any smaller.

I know i shouldnt but i have a isotta wheel with no airbag ,cause always been used to that kind of wheel and couldnt get used to the s4 one
which wheel do you have a 4 or 3 spoke?
i would much rather have a steering wheel with an airbag, having an aftermarket wheel you wont have an airbag and also you will have to deal with the airbag warning light.
If you dont deal with the light and if you have any other airbags in the car they will not work until you have cleared the warning light.

Will an R32 Wheel fit straight on?

I remember a mate who used to have an E30 325i with this tiny Momo wheel. It was ridiculous as you could only either see the speedo or revcounter at certain wheel positions. And you were pretty much guessing what speed you were doing between about 60 and 90mph without dislocating your neck!
