This post illustrates my only observation:

Consider a "D" wheel. I have Corbeaus in a '68 Camaro and I really have to weave below the wheel and around the kidney supports to get in my car. Although not tiny, I'm 5'10, 200lbs. I currently have a Raid! Dino 14" wheel. I'll be going to a D soon so I don't feel like I'm straddling the wheel.

Just throwing that out there.

Here is a pic of my favorite, Lecarra. Same style Mustang as yours, I've had MOMO and Sparco, but IMO Lecarra looks the best. Not too small or large and not too expensive, found it for under $100 on eBay.

I, personally, went with a Budnik wheel for my 69 Camaro - love the look and the finish. It's a split-grip wheel - the back half of the wheel and the hub is all brushed aluminum, and the front half is leather. It's a VERY nice wheel to hold onto.

I purchased the Budnik CV-1:

My vote is LeCarra. I've owned a bunch of wheels and the LeCarra is a good look. I want a split wheel next, the idea of leather on one side is intriguing. But the LeCarra is a classic good look, good price, find able, and the adapter is made by a few different companies these days.

What size wheel should I get?
What’s too big & what’s too small?

Chris, I was lucky and again I found it on eBay. ;)

The Lecarra comes in 15 and 14 inch. I have the 14" wheel, not too big or small.

Check your local shops. I've never seen anyone questioned but I think there's a minimum diameter for state safety inspections (at leaset in Texas).

I think they are trying to get away from the 10"-chain steering wheels that are popular with low riders.

I was thinking 14" was the minimum, legally but this is a vague memory.
