Most of the aftermarket steering wheels bolt to an adapter/stand-off that itself is bolted to the steering shaft. There are different height adapters there are also different diameter wheels. You'd probably want a wheel of a similar diameter to the original if only because the sight line to the instrument cluster will be altered with a different diameter wheel. For instance you might find your turn signal indicators obscured by a non-standard dis wheel.
Lots of Nardi wheels on eBay.

How about Momo steering wheels of the same vintage? Found a mid 80’s one I’m keen on. Hard to get info from sellers sometimes.. but what segments could I ask them to measure? And would adapters be pretty easy to source no matter what measurement I get from them?
Honestly the OEM steering wheel diameter doesn’t sit well with my line of sight of instrument cluster, so I’m open to changing it this way or that!
