Picking out steering wheel

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.

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.
