Default Steering wheel upgrade

Looking to up grade my steering wheel. For those of you who have done it did you stay with the stock size [14.5] or did you go smaller.

In a F-body. a C4 will be NO different.. Especially 84 - 89. I went with a MOMO course 320 mm?? if i remember correctly. Night and Day. Awesome up-grade!!! Much better control, NO flex!! you will wish you yanked the OE truck driver wheel. Day one!!! I would yank my current 94. But I like the idea of a air-bag. just in the event???

I have a 12" little too small and toyish feel.

Sounds like bragging.

I had a Sparco 330mm "Ring" in my car with a NRG quick release. The 330 flat bottom was a little to small for me so I sold it and went with the Sparco Strada 350mm. Really like this wheel. You can see the 2nd pic comparing the two. I don't have any pics of the 350mm installed yet. The Sparco Strada is roughly 3/4" bigger in diameter than the 330. Feels just right. I don't miss the 22 year old air bag in my 94'.
