I just saw another thread about a wooden steering wheel, and I've been thinking about changing my wheel for some time. I found one I like in Eckler's but it says that it is 14 inches. I know the standard one is 17 inches. I've also seen some that are 15".
So any comments on how a 14" Steering Wheel would work? I don't want to get one so small that it's too jerky on the road. Thanks,
Glenn

As long as you got powersteering the 14" should be fine. It will make it a bit easyier to exit out of your vette if your a big guy too.
