My 73 has the original steering wheel. Looking at a few threads, I gather 360mm is stock. Thing is I am 6'2". Have no problem fitting in the 914 itself, but the steering wheel is awkward at best. Can another member who is similarly tall post a photo of another smaller wheel as they sit in the drivers seat? Thinking a 350mm may solve my problems? Though looking at other photos maybe obscure the gauges a little. Still better then having my knees on the sides of it!

I understand your problem, since I had the same issues with swinging my legs easily into the car. I eventually ended up buying an aftermarket quick release hub off of Ebay and use it with a smaller aftermarket "Jackie Stewart" wheel. I had first tried one of those offset hubs that are sold by one of the 914World vendors, but it still didn't give me enough room to easily slide my legs under the sports steering wheel. With the quick release hub, I just take off the steering wheel and slide into the car with ease.
