boy back in the day the wheel in my old 60's Chevy's were much bigger then what i have in my s2000 now. But what's std in cars these days seems fine, remember the wheel is not just for a quick lane change, but complete turns, parking, and full manuevering. I'd hate to see someone in a panic situation trying to go hand over hand in something smaller then what's already in a car and still have good control. Not to mention unless the OP's car is older the air bag could be an issue as well.
I dont know why but visualizing someone panicking in traffic with a tiny steering wheel made me crack up. LOL.

I had a friend whose steering wheel on his 1969 Camaro came completely off in rush hour traffic in Kansas City. The center just basically disintegrated from age. Fortunately he had a pair of Vise Grips sitting on the passenger seat and the presence of mind to grab them and attach them to the rod that the wheel was formerly attached to. Being extremely frugal, he actually drove the car like that for several weeks until he was able to make a trip home to his dad's farm in Illinois where he had the tools to properly install an aftermarket steering wheel himself rather than take it to a shop.
Not sure how this story applies; I guess I'm just saying that if you don't like the size of your steering wheel maybe you should try using Vise Grips instead and see if you like that better.
