That looks like the stock wheel used from '69 - '75 - I'm not sure what they used in '77... Is that when they went to the smaller, more padded wheels?

I googled it and this is what I found.
1977 was the first year for the new leather wrapped steering wheel when tilt/telescopic was ordered
I also found this link to Zip Corvette, they have a list of Sterring wheels.

Yes & 77- about 14" diameter.
Good but they forgot the slots. Several years ago, I installed a shallower dish Grant w/ polished slotted spokes & black leather.

Yes.
76 had the 4 spoke "sport" wheel which was used on other cars like the Camaro.
