Question Light weight steering wheel options?

Before you hammer me , I tried searching! I'm looking to ditch the stock steering wheel and go with a simple, light one. What are you guys using? I'd like something simple, 3 spoke, I'm going to need a spot to mount the T-brake button at thumbs reach. Quick release would be cool also. I'd like to stay close to stock dia. because due to financial reasons and time restaints, the factory "non-power" power rack is staying, so she's a beech to turn as it is. I'd also like to retain horn function as the class I may be running in requires that it function.

Thanks!

Grant makes a 13" 3-spoke wheel with holes on each side for buttons..I am going to use this and I have seen that MANY other guys on here already run the Grant 13 & 14" wheels...without power, I would run a 14"...IMHO

If you are just trying to lighten it then do what I did and remove the air bag. The whole factory steering wheel only weighs 6 pounds without the air bag. Won't find too many any lighter.
