Default What size Budnik steering wheel - 15.5 or 13.5?

I'm upgrading to a new steering wheel but not sure what size to get. What size are you guys running and are you happy with it?

I can't measure my original wheel as it's still on the car about 1.5 hours away. Isn't the stock wheel 15in? I don't want to go bigger but is the 13.5 make it feel a little to twitchy?

Thanks,
Jeff

13.75" you'll be much happier with it. Their 15.5's are better suited for big cars

if they had a 14.5 or 14.75 id go for it. i stressed about the 15.5 and 13.75 choice as well and i went with the 13.75. the 15.5 is just too big.

Yeah, I'm holding out to find something in the 14.0-14.75" range that I like. Seems like all of the wheels in that range end up very bare bones, a little too racecar-ish for my build.

I'm either going with a Momo or Sparco for my Nova, in a 350mm, which is a hair over 13.78".

We also still have Shutt Steering wheels for sale, that are full leather, and not too tuner looking, which is also a 350mm:
