If you send an email to me at [email protected] I will send you back some pictures. I can’t even come close to posting them on this site so that’s the only way I have to send them out. As for price probably about $750 but I also have a lot of other neat wheels in my collection.

Additional to the above...
Grant Adapter 3 Bolt, 1.75" BC, 5/16-24 starting at 12:00 o'clock
Grant Adapter 5 Bolt, 2.75" (70mm) BC, 10-32 starting at 12:00 o'clock
Grant Adapter 6 Bolt, 2.75" (70mm) BC, 10-32 starting at 3:00 o'clock
Nardi and Personal 6 Bolt, 74mm BC, M6 starting at 3:00 o'clock
Momo, Sparco, ISOTTA and NRG 6 Bolt, 2.75" (70mm) BC, M5 starting at 12:00 o'clock
Mountney, Lecarra, Moto-Lita and Springalex 9 Bolt, 4" BC, 10-32 starting at 12:00 o'clock
The Momo pattern is the most common. Every Nardi or Personal wheel I have seen uses M6 screws but I understand some take M5 instead.
You can modify some hubs by drilling & tapping in other patterns. Measure twice (or three times), cut once.

I have a 14" wood rim Moto-Lita which I bought directly from them. Much better than the 13" Mountney I had.

yes. too small plus mine is worn out and slick. I never drop my steering wheel and i'm 5'7". I might make a 14" cardboard cut out and see how it sits. also have to determine if I want flat or dished. thinking flat right now.

There are a ton of choices for larger wheels, and bigger will give you more leverage, narrower tires also make the steering lighter. The original and early aftermarket wheels are 15" I think, but are on the large side, 14" should be a big help in your case.
On a side note as a kid I had a 69 Mach 1 Mustang, it had a manual trans with a heavy duty truck clutch, manual drum brakes, and manual steering, so of course I added 70 series bias belted tires, and a little 13" grant wheel. There was no steering it if you weren't moving. That car really gave you a work out.

I'm using a rare? 13" Australian SAAS steering wheel. I like it because I can use the full drop on steering column drop bracket. A 15" steering wheel will interfere with ones thighs on full drop. I once had a 12" steering wheel and agree with you that its too small.

Hi fellas.
i'm looking to replace my 12" rally type steering wheel (held on with 6 screws) with possibly something bigger. anybody running a 14" or larger? are you happier when parallel parking?
thanks!
