Current ‘71 with the original (I think) non-T&T column and wheel.
Looking to gain a little egress clearance. Power steering works fine.
What wheel can I bolt right on that’s a little smaller diameter? Maybe with a larger diameter grip.
Is a later C3 wheel a bolt on?
Edit: also considering shallower dish wheels. What dish do I have stock?

I bought one of those smaller wheels as well, also the feel of the wheel is more like a modern car. Funny how you get used to the fatter wheels and then the original vette wheel is suddenly flimsy.
Every little bit of more room helps when dragging this old body in and out of the car

Kinda pointless if they don't know the name of the wheel or where to get it?
Grant makes the aftermarket wheels pictured. I think I got mine from Summit Racing. They also have one with no dish, which I have. With the no dish wheel, I had to slightly bend my turn signal lever with a non tilt column. Don't forget the little spacer needed for the bottom spoke where it sits on the hub!
Mine for sure isn't a Grant wheel and I don't think those others are either. There's a few no-name brand ones that have the one piece centers as shown (as opposed to the 2 piece ones that need the spacer you mention), The link posted to Mid America is a "Volante" ?
At one point in the past someone was complaining that they bent really easy, I've never had that issue but it someone said it was an issue
