dont know where to find one, but they are totally worth it, im a large six foot haha and its well worth it, especially with the smallest legal diameter steering wheel available.

Is not quite legal but looks fairly 'low fuss' (compared to the more thickly gripped, non round f1 inspired wheels that are popular with some people these days) so probably wouldn't attract too much attention. I've got one myself. The 'spokes' are relatively flat, so they don't space it back further. the wheel itself is likely to be solid ceramic underneath, with grooves for fingers to wrap around, and it has then had a leather/vinyl cover stitched over it (just to warn anyone thinking the wheel is soft padded at all).

I used this hub to adapt it:

I had good experiences with both sellers, no dramas recommending them. The wheel itself isn't super strong, and I reckon I could snap it if I pushed hard enough (I am over 6 feet as well, sorta large build) so it won't last forever. You could probably alleviate it by getting a Y shaped bit of alloy and tig-welding it over the wheel/spokes to help strengthen it.

Same as most kits with the 2 x 6 bolt patterns. So both old and new styles

Hi guys I can custom machine any boss you would like , short , long , big ,small , but they are custom made from billet 6061-t6 so they are a bit more expensive than eBay specials, but you will have the best one for your application . Here is a pic of my wheel and some other bits. still trying to load pic !
