I've seen cheap wheels break off in crashes too, leaving a sharp ragged stump of a steering column to impale the driver. IMO it's a safety item.

Hadn't gotten that far yet. With it being an ex challenge car, and mostly competition use, nothing too fancy.
Hopefully about 14.5 inches od, as thats exactly middle between the two wheels.
Michael, you're talking about a diameter that's very close to the stock Miata wheel. That might be a cheaper solution that is still a safe, rigid wheel...........or any junkyard wheel with the same spline. FWIW, the steering wheel from a 1972 Corolla will fit, just in case you may have one laying around....
In reply to wvumtnbkr :
I also run a 380 mm OMP wheel in my RX7!
I'd prefer a 350 mm but it's nice having the extra leverage to turn sticky 255/40R17 tires with no power steering. It also doesn't obstruct my shift lights. If I could lower my seat 1/2" to 1" I'd go back to the 350 mm wheel.
