[Roadsters] --> Re: Steering Wheel

[RWM]

I use a 10" diameter thick padded rimmed wheel from Formuling France 
with 240Z splined adapter by same manufacturer.

Same reasoning and observations as Pat.

Good way to check tire pressures.  Steering gets very heavy when cutting 
the wheel at a stop with lower than ideal front tire pressures.
