Differnt Steering Wheels?

What are my options for putting a different steering wheel on a 95 TA? I really want to keep the interior stock but I was looking to get a slightly smaller sized steering wheel? I have the have the wheel moved all the way upward right now for me to be able to drive well because I have long legs and my hands hit my knees when I make sharp turns, lol..the problem with having the wheel like this is that I cant see the gas/temp/voltage, etc gauges or turn signals. I would also like to get rid of the air bag, what do I need to do to go about doing this and putting on some type of standard wheel?

Its not much smaller than stock if at all but I think they have other models that are smaller.
Replacing the stock wheel with an aftermarket one will make the airbag light come on so I cut the wire that goes to the light. There is a big yellow wire connector behind the glovebox. Cutting the brown wire marked B1 on the connector will kill the airbag light.

I don't want to see another accident. If I wreck the Z, i'd better be good enough to take me with it. I don't want to see that car crunched up. I think air bags are pointless anyway. Now, ABS....that saved my a*s a couple of times!

I like the old emblem for the horn pad.

One of the lightest, cheapest wheels Grant sells..... about 1.5" smaller than the stock wheel.
