Agree on all points. Add in the cumbersome 15" diameter and thin section
and I couldn't wait to replace the oem wheel...which is nicely boxed and
sitting on the shelf at the garage mahal ;-)
I did see an interesting wheel today on a car built by Dale, which had a
14" diameter wood rim, with a custom fabricated horn ring, which was
visually very close to the stock set up.

One of the considerations I have not heard addressed regarding the use of a
wood or wood rimed steering wheel.
One of the concerns in Vintage Racing circles is that of wood rim steering
wheels. The concern revolve around the potential of wood splinters entering
the driver while under impact.
I doubt many of you will concern yourself with an issue like this but
awareness never hurts.
I also happen to really like the feel of my leather wrapped wheel!
Just my .02
Regards, and Happy New Year
