I would not recommend going to the smaller diameter wheel without power steering. The effort at low speeds/parking is hard enough with the factory wheel, particularly when the car is stationary.

I stayed with the factory wheel until I converted to Borgeson power steering.

Looks correct and original to me...here is one of mine, though not real close up.

As in most all teak wheel threads, we have eventually gone from the original subject to the multiple promotion of the same Non Supporting Vendor.

I guess the original topic has been discussed.
