Could one of you with a car - measure the diameter of the steering wheel and the diameter of the rim

Looking to order steering lock... for the car due end of the month.

THANKS

Wheel o/s diameter is 40cm, thickness of the wheel is 3.5cm and my Stoploc fits but is a bit loose and sits on the dash top rather than against the back of the steering wheel. The yellow clamp on the Stoploc is also slack so won’t damage the leather by marking it. It’s the same one I use on my old 90, used it also on RRS and Mini Countryman and it also fits L322 FFRR Autobiography steering wheels!

I don’t use it! Took the photos just to show that it fits, usually it’s in my old 90 which is far more likely to be stolen than the new one Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

This is worth a read:

@Tim. The stoplock you show in your photo is known to be defeat-able in moments to the extent that Amazon sell a tool which can pick the lock in less than 5 seconds and requires no user skill (push it in, turn and it pops open tubular style locks).
