Default C2 Steering Wheel

I am looking for another steering wheel for my '66 - Mid America has the 14" one that comes in the different colors and finishes. Does anyone have one of these or anything else? Thanks - pics would be cool too.

I am wondering the same thing. Does anyone make a wheel that looks similar to the existing standard wood grain wheel for my 67 vert that is slightly smaller in diameter? With PS, it really doesn't need to be so large and I find it somewhat uncomfortable. Anyone I get however, I would like it to look like the original one.

Having driven Dave's car (a real treat I might add) I liked the feel of that smaller wheel!

Default smaller wheel

Sounds like someone needs to design/manufacture a smaller version of the factory wheel.
Maby Eric Freeman can build us a smaller version of his teak wheels?? Eric are you listening?? Sounds like a market here.
I will send him a note, and see what he sayes.
I have always felt that the factory wheel is kind of big (diameter), especially with pwr. steering.
