      Recommendations on a steering wheel

      I want to buy a wheel for my 67 Chevelle, here's what my dilemma is: The interior is stock with the exception of Dakota gauges and I really liike the factory style wheels but I want it to have a smaller diameter. Any pics or sugestions would be appreciated.

      I'm not a fan of the smaller diameter steering wheels as they're not ergonomically suited for us nor our cars. My recommendation is a Grant GT or Sparco (if you have the $$$) 15"-15.5" diameter wheel.

      I got the flaming river wood wheel with chrome 3 bar center (don't remember the name). I like it, but it is pretty slick on the hands.

      I'm a big fan of 14" diameter steering wheels, with a thick grip. We use the Shutt Wheels, and the Momo wheels ourselves, and sell them both. Shutt VY3 or Momo Retro. If you need pricing, call me.

      Shutt wheels look really nice imo, they captured the muscle car look in the YV3
