Jeff, I'll snap some pics when I get home of my Sparco Strada 350mm. I used to have the Sparco Ring 330mm (identical to army snipe). I will echo what Army Sniple said, use a 2 ohm 5w resistor to keep the SRS happy. Can be purchased from Amazon for just a few dollars.
Here are some pics from my initial install:
I got tired of how far the quick release moved the steering wheel from the signal stalk. Not an issue if you are racing, sort of an issue if you drive the car on the street. I am using a 1" adapter from Crowders Racing with a 350mm Sparco Strada and am very happy with it. Nice factory appearance as well.

I went with a 330mm Sparco ring. I wondered if it would be too small, but so far I love the way it looks. Once I take a drive I'll post some feedback. After looking on the forum I used a post (aftermarket steering wheel and quick release install ('96) by MarkBychowski (OP). It was very helpful and straight forward. I have a 93 and was able to use the same instructions. I actually just replaced mine 2 days ago, but ordered the wrong resistor to delete the airbag. I ordered a 2K watt instead of a 2 W (DUH). I wouldn't go any smaller than a 330MM. For me the aftermarket wheel makes it easier to get in and out of the car. I also have more leg room as I like to sit closer to the steering wheel. In my case I wasn't worried about the airbag because I have a five point harness.
That looks awesome.

After market steering wheel
After removing my stock 1990 steering wheel i installed this Sparco wheel 350mm.
After installing the Sparco steering and using it for a few years i designed my own wheel. A company with a water jet cut this shape for me out of 1/4 aluminum , the handles i made out of knife handle wood and hand shaped them. The two red
buttons are for the horn (wires are hidden on the back side inside the wood. The green button is for the transmission brake.
the wheel is also 350mm I drag race this car when i can ,it works find for driving on the street as well . Time driving is about 85 % street and 15% drag strip. Best pass 11.54 @ 120.xx mph 60ft time of 1.61 ,of course this was when it was 65 deg and very good air at Orlando Speed World.
