Smaller Steering Wheel

Is there a smaller steering wheel that exists that can take the factory air bag? I am tall with long legs and can't get the steering wheel in a position that allows my hands to clear my knees.

Car is a 2002 with the three point wheel.

Here’s mine from DCTM. IIRC it’s ~1” smaller in diameter with a thicker rim. I ordered it with the semi flat bottom. It’s done in napa cocoa leather with silver stitching to match my Classic9 upholstery. Wheel core is standard Porsche 3 spoke with mods by whoever does DCTM’s work (someplace in Asia I think). I also had them cover the wheel rear cowling which stock is a semi flexible black rubber.

Vivid Racing also used to offer custom 986/996 wheels but I don’t know if they still offer them.

Vivid Racing has some customized 986/996 steering wheels on sale for $800 right now. They have flat bottoms, carbon fiber on top/bottom and leather in the handgrip areas on the sides.
