I have the same wheel that Sneke Eyes has. But I found it hard to get used to the smaller diameter.
Original wheel was 16", and the Grant was 14", and just didn't feel right to me.
I have a buddy who does leather work, and I think I'm going to have him cover my original wheel with blue leather to match my interior. I'm going to cover the wheel with some dense 1/8" think foam before I have him do the leather work, to thicken up the feel of the skinny wheel.
On seats, I didn't go aftermarket. I used Scion TC seats that I got off craig's for $200, they were already black and blue so the fit nicely into my interior. Very comfortable and hold me in place nicely

All of my cars have had smaller steering wheels than my Dart, so that's not an issue. It seems most people agree a 13-14" steering wheel is good. I have a 2011 Scion tC so my seats are a little bigger than yours and I feel comfortable. I was also thinking about seats from a Challenger or Charger.

I have Corbeau's and they are Junk, had a second set of covers in less than 6 months, the stitching wore out and they got sun faded in a year. I would use them to make new covers out of good material though. Tim

I used Scat Rally seats on mine. Good side support and comfortable though not a full race seat. He doesn't fit well in them... (He sat in my Torana with them)

The problem with most race seats is that they're not setup for wide people. I agree. I've had good luck using modern bucket seats with good bolsters from a modern performance car and have then recovered to match the interior.

He said, Momo could make me a custom seat, but he didn't seem too enthused about that idea. He was going to try to get Momo to sponsor my interior; however, I'm turning it down because it will cost me more money and for them to make a custom seat (even with a huge discount) and a sticker on my car would look too busy with the trim. Maybe when I get to paint and body I'll revamp the interior again I'll think about a sponsorship. I've helped make a custom carbon fiber seat in Baja before and it is not a fun job.

I guess I am old school, but I hate today's fat steering wheels, I like the thin ones.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
