Default 1968 Steering Wheel

Someone please tell me the correct diameter of the steering wheel on a 1968.
I've tried searching with no clear results. I have a chance to purchase a quality 16" wood, but want make sure it is correct for my year.

Thanks

16" diameter is what came off of my 68.

The wood wheel looks much better than the black plastic one...but it was not a legitimate option for 1968 Corvettes and it is still 16" in diameter. If the wheel size doesn't bother you, it will enhance the appearance of the interior. Another option is to install a smaller diameter, leather-trimmed wheel like those from late 70's Corvettes. Either way, enjoy!

Hi

Are you sure the one offered is real wood ?

The 68 original wheel is wood appearing plastic.
