Steering Wheel Suggestions

I need to get a new steering wheel for my FD, since the stock one is just too big for me and doesn't give me room to drive it comfortably...I'm 6'4", so I guess I'm kinda tall for the FD and my legs and the steering wheel are too close...I think a smaller steering wheel would be the way to go.

The stock SW is 380mm and I was looking and found that most options are 350mm whish I think is still not enough and I'm still looking for something like 330mm aprox.

I live in Peru, so I don't really have many options to look at...What steering wheels (w/o airbag) do you suggest (Momo, Sparco, etc.)?

Hope you guys can help.

Unless you are building a track car, I would recommend staying with 350mm wheel. Look at the D-Shaped wheels as that will give you a little more knee room without going to a very small wheel.

Something like this:

I'm 6'3". I went with the D-shaped sparco that... I forget the size, but is about an inch smaller than stock. Then I got a quick-release steering wheel hub that extended the wheel out another couple inches. That helped a bunch, just having it farther up the leg. I can actually get my leg turned under the wheel for heal-toe shifts now.
