Has anyone fitted a "dished" steering wheel to their TR6? I am 
considering a MotoLita wheel and am not sure if I should get flat or 
dished. The reason I am wondering is that I find my stock wheel (flat) 
is very close to the column mounted stalks (turn signal, headlight 
dimmer and O/D switch - this is a late model TR6). At least when 
compared to my other car, a VW GTI.
     
Sometimes I get the idea that the day will come when I will accidentally 
break one of the switches when making an aggressive turn due to the flat 
wheel's proximity to the switches.
     
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has fitted a dished wheel to 
their TR6 to see what you think of the fit and look. FWIW, I am 6'2" and 
drive with my seat two notches from the farthest back position.
     
Thanks for any insights!
