I'm thinking about switching from a smaller wooden wheel to the original one. Which do you prefer?

Re: Old / New Steering Wheel
How tall are you? I'm 6'4" and have to have a smaller wheel so I can shift between 1st and 2nd and use the clutch.

Re: Old / New Steering Wheel
Where is a good place to get a smaller wheel? Yes I need one!! I am 6'8" and yes I fit. I have the same issue my left knee hits the wheel when I shift gears. I am open and wanting any suggestions and advice.
The steering wheels on the post are beautiful.

Try these folks. They are a direct bolt on. I have a 12" diameter wheel and it provides all the room I need to shift gears.jschlegel51 wrote:Where is a good place to get a smaller wheel?
