I'm with the others. To me, the 2nd one does not look like it would have the right grip for a spirited driving session. (Or even be comfortable for relaxed driving.)
I like wheels that have comfortables grips at 9 and 3.

When the sun in behind you, you're just going to love how the reflection in all that chrome makes your eyes snap closed. Chrome steering wheels aren't commonly used in racing....so why would you want to put one on your Corvette. Check out MoMo.....or anything else that isn't a mirror.

I like the first one better. Can you make the telescoping function work with an aftermarket steering wheel like that or ar you gonna lock it in one position for good???

Re: Which steering wheel? ('79ProwlerOrange)
They both look too ricer .....neither one really fits the style of the car, looks more for a Honda than a classical vette....
but then again, it's your car....sometimes there is just no accounting for 'taste'......
