I bought mine from Burkhart Chassis. They have the full kit with the options.

He should be able to match you up with a different steering wheel if you don't like the standard one.

I put a column in when I did the quick release wheel, but the burkhart, or madman kit would be the way to go with a stock column.
Wheel wise I picked out a black grant wheel that was only like 1/2 an inch smaller then the stock wheel. It's big enough so it's not really a struggle to turn the wheels with 1 hand when the car's not even moving, with the car moving at all it would be easy enough.
The prostock wheel with the yellow marker in the center is a nice wheel as well, no need for the tape on it, etc.

I'm using the one from Madman with a 15" Grant,
And a power rack, without the power steering pump. That wheel is the same diameter as factory. It takes an arm to manuver around the pits. I like the quick release. But the setup I got moves the wheel away from you about 3".

Roger you can get a spacer that will pull the wheel back towards you if you want that.
I had the column built 2 inches longer when I took this route for that same reason, later I found some spacers that you can use (ART catalog) that will let you pull the wheel closer.. had I known about those I would have had the column shortened 3 inches from stock and put a 5 inch spacer on that would remove with the wheel... it would make for alot less column in the way when getting in and out of the car fwiw.
