Default Aftermarket Steering wheels

Howdy ya'll, so I just install a NRG quick release in without a steering wheel. I'm glad I did it in this, annoying, way, since now I'm pretty sure I don't want a deep dish wheel. I like being able to hit my turn signals lazyingly. I quite like
 this wheel this wheel
, it's pretty bland, but leather and the yellow stripe. Does anyone know of a similar wheel that is not deep dish? Seems like NRG went really heavy in the deep dish market. Would have been pretty sick if they
this one this one
had in non-deep dish since I got the same color quick release (on my '91 BRG).

Doesn't matter too much not having a steering wheel for a few days since I need to get megasquirt up and idling, plus jump start my battery after all those bad cranks...

There is a thread around here on quick release hubs and the general consensus was nrg hubs are alright but ebay wheels are junk and to stick with a high quality wheel like sparco MOMO omp Nardi and other similar

Spent a long time last night looking only. Forcing myself to stay awake. Looks like OMP has a lot of no dish wheels with the yellow stripe. My wanting it might be a bit ricey but wanted to try it out and play around. Also seems like saude might not be too bad of material, just have to clean it every few months or so (compared to motorcycle chain maintenance, not a big deal). Right now I'm looking at the OMP OD/1958 and "OMP 3-Spoke Velocita Series Racing Steering Wheel" I thought about going for a smaller wheel, but couldn't find too much info on the cons and the normal wheel size doesn't bother me that much.

And thanks for the suggestions everyone I took a look at them all and still have a shopping list with all the steering wheels I have/am considering.

edit: The smaller wheel I was thinking of was the OMP (OD/2005/NN) but would want to see that on a Miata first since I've already been pulled over enough for speeding (it's been awhile though, so I need to turbo the car).
edit2: the Nardi Deep Corn is really sexy though... god damnit.

Yeah sparco sprint and harness.

Went ahead and ordered an OMP that is about stock size but will say I'm wishing I got one a little bit smaller. Still waiting for the steering wheel to come in the mail though. FedEx is just letting the package sit for the past three days...
