14" Steering wheel
Has anyone installed one of these steering wheels?

If so how do you like it as compared to the orginal wheel. Will 1" matter that much?
CA has more of these, same price, buy from them.

The Corvette America add said, These wheels feature your choice of genuine black leather finger grip with brushed satin aluminum spokes or beautiful Mahogany with carved finger grips and anodized black spokes. Each have a 14" diameter deep dish. Fits all 68–75 Corvettes and 77–82 Corvettes with tilt/telescopic steering columns. Uses stock bolt pattern, factory horn button, and mounts directly to the column. No installation kit required. Deep dish design will not interfere with turn signal lever. Will not fit 1976 Corvettes. .
1968-1982 Steering Wheel. Black Leather/Satin Brushed Aluminum 3 Spoke See Note 1
(Note 1: This wheel is a Deep Dish Design and will not interfere with the
turn signal lever. $ 49.00)
Seems like a good deal for a 14" wheel, as long as it does not say made in china on it anywhere.

i installed the 14" from ecklers. Werry satesfied. better to drive, and easier to get in and out of the car. And i also think it looks better.
for the price, i think it is the best modification i have done to the car.
(easy to install, 15 min.)

Ahh the mystical four spoke. I bought one like that from Mid America many years back before them discontinued them. I love that four spoke design, the smaller diameter, and mine was black wrapped leather with insulation so it's got a thick weighty feel.
I wish i had bought two of them at the time.

I got one and love it. Much different feel when driving than the stocker - tighter. Surprising for such a seemingly small difference in size, but it's there. I like the thicker grip as well. It looks fairly stock and it was a good price
