Default Steering wheel opions with Bride Seats

It is time to over haul my interior, so I am about 99% sure that I am going to go with a pair of Bride Low Max seats. My car has the factory grey leather, which I am going to keep the same, for the most part, bc it is so rare to see an SC with that color. I am going to have my center arm rest and part of the door panels (arm rest and maybe the lower area where the carpet is) re-wrapped in the bride material so that it will match the seats. What I can not seem to decide on is which steering wheel I want to go with. I am thinking a sparco wheel would not fit, since everything else is Bride, but Bride doesnt make steering wheels. I like the Nardi Deep Corn wheels, but I would rather stay in the $200 range (like the sparco) instead of the $300-350 range that the Nardi's are in. I thought about using the 3 spoke factory Lexus wheel as well, but Im not really sure how that will fit with the racing seats. Finally, what size would look best, I was thinking in the 330mm area.
If you guys have pictures of steering wheel set-ups with racing seats, please post some pictures to share.
Thank you in advance

I actually think a Sparco wheel would look really good in the car with the seats, however I am also a fan of OEM+ parts, like getting a OEM wheel modified like JPM Coachworks can do.
