smallest diameter steering wheel for our cars?
#2
As far as I could tell, any Toyota MR2/Matrix-XRS/Corolla-XRS or IS300/Altezza or 97+ Supra (ALL of them are the same with only cosmetic differences) three-spoke steering wheel was the smallest diameter in the OEM bin. The physical diameter isn't much smaller than the factory wheel, however. It's a minute actual difference in diameter but a tremendous difference in how the wheel holds in the hand of the driver. Part of it is having a much smaller airbag center than 92-97 SC's.
I don't know what's smaller than that wheel on the OEM side. Aftermarket wheel options may be even smaller.
Personally, I recommend one of the variants of Toyota's "sporty" leather three-spoke I mentioned above. You will notice the difference, believe me, and it appears to be like a factory wheel in our cars if you swap to a black column cover.

You will need an airbag adapter wire called an "SPX" Tool. Carson and other places carry this.
I second Kira X's sentiment about the IS300 wheel (or other near identical variants listed above). It's a significant difference to use that wheel over the stock four-spoke. Even the later SC/GS three-spokes are big compared to it.
