Default I need help finding a proper flat bottom steering wheel.
The Panoz has a Fitipaldi (sp?) wheel... it's a nice small size w/o being too small, but due to the steering column angle and my long legs my knee just brushes the wheel when I have my leg on the clutch pedal.

I'd like something similar but with a flat bottom to give me the added leg clearance I need.

Not our car, but here's the wheel in the car.

I'm curious how the 1st and 3rd compare to the one I have in overall diameter and which gives the most leg room.
