Being 6'1", the stock wheel doesn't leave me much room to shift/steer, so I'm considering a smaller steering wheel... I know that I'll probably lose sight of portions of the gauges (I can't see parts of them now), I'm just trying to figure out how much smaller to go (which will be partially driven by styles and availability).

Stock is 380mm, and most of the after-market ones are 350mm; but, I've also found some at 320mm, 300mm, and 280mm. I recognize that the smaller you go, the more effort that will be required to steer...

Thoughts/Suggestions? How small do I need to go to get the shifting/steering room I need? Thanks!

My height is split about 50/50 (32" inseam), I just find that I can't get my right leg out of the way when shifting in particular and it's even worse if I'm trying to steer...

I've checked the Momo site and the majority of their wheels are 350mm. The Commando, Commando R, Millenium, Millenium Evo, Jet, Race, Tuner and Monte Carlo come in 320mm and the "Team" comes in 300mm and 280mm. At first I was thinking the 300mm Team, but once I get the 205/55/16s on the Pack Racing wheels, that'll probably be a little rough at slow speeds...

I also found this "Luisi" wheel on eBay, any body heard of them?:
