Here is my Momo wheel which is a 340mm size. (flash picture doesn't do it justice)
I would not recommend any smaller than that.

i like my grant corsa. i really like the feel of the material and although i did buy it locally for much more then online, im glad i did. make sure you feel the material before buying the wheel as pics can be very deciving (i originally ordered one online and it really sucked ***. i just could not stand the feel of the cheap *** rubbery material/fake leather combo). if you have to, go down to a shop and see what they have and then order it online if you have to but make sure to actually feel the material first!
also, if you are thinking about a D-wheel, if your gonna be doing any kind of drifting, i would highly recommend against it. another thing to take in to consideration is the size of the wheel, the smaller it gets, the harder it is to turn the wheel.
good luck
P.S. the ebay one you posted up looks like the same material on my first wheel... sucky

I have the Sparco Mugello and its pretty nice. My only complaint is that the area where you grab it is not as thick as I would prefer. I got mine on ebay and used this hub:
http://www.finishlineperformance.com...tion&key=I1089
Its a Miata hub but it works perfectly on the FD and it disables the airbag light, retains the signals and the horn.
I got the D shaped Sparco so that I could have some more room between my thigh and the bottom of the steering wheel. In that respect I really like the Mugello. It is 330mm but it doesn't really block anything in my line of site. Looking at the tach from the seat, the top of the chrome bezel is obstructed, but view to the gauges still is good.
I am contemplating giving another wheel a try maybe the Momo Apache in all black. It is another D shaped wheel. All the Momo's that I've tried in my friend's cars seem to have a thicker rim which is good for my long fingers.

Thats not a smart thing to have on a street car. There has been steering wheels to come off during races btw. Unless you have a hard time getting in and out of your car, dont get it. Im refering to the quick release, besides the fact that its not cool to walk around with a steering wheel in you hand or in a grocery buggy.

93redFD---I dont know how it would ever come off, granted that does depend on the style... I rather carry my steering wheel in my back pack, then have it in someone elses hands driving my car around
