I have had a 350mm (actually 356mm) Momo Veloce wheel that came with the car in 1994. It'll never die and is comfortable as well. I'm pretty sure it was the most modest of their wheels and probably $150 - $175 or so. Here's an ad to a place that still has them in both 330mm and 350mm, but I'm sure used ones can be found now and then.

http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca...whel-detail.htmYou could consider a removable steering hub and just remove the wheel to get in and out of the car easier. It also makes under-dash work easier since you don't have to go through the normal procedure. Three things about them.
1. You will have to add a horn button unless one comes with the wheel like the Pelican wheels.
2. You'll have to watch out for friends who hide your wheel occasionally... trust me on this. They will do it now and then.
3. They're expensive, but might be usable with the wheel you have now. RTFM
4. They are "not approved for street cars" but good ones are bullet-proof. I don't know that any state laws actually prohibit them, but I've never looked that up. RTFM
Mine came from Smart Racing, but you'll have to call Jerry Woods for it these days. Pelican has a couple of them...
http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca...MISCLL_pg11.htmI have a 92mm (roughly 3.5in) extension behind it to place it close to me where it's comfortable during long drives and the drop is immediate to my shifter. But that's only practical when the wheel is removable. The closer positioning is truly a huge help in curbing driver fatigue that translates directly into safety. There's one more benefit as well.
An extension is a wonderful thing even when it's smaller than mine since it also keeps you from turning on the wipers and turn signals by mistake during "dramatic" turning events.
But then lots of this is a bit OT isn't it?
Good luck
