I took the original one out years ago to make it easier to use the drivers door. Thinking I would be happier with a little more control so I'm considering a change. Which one should I put in the car, or keep the same?

Honestly, none are "original" to the year of your T. I would definitely NOT use the little one.

I use a large, aftermarket wheel on my 14 for the extra control.

So the original steering wheel that came off the car is not original?!?

What year car did you remove the black wheel from ?

Your car appears to be a 26/27. I believe it should have the stamped steering wheel with the arms riveted to the hub, and not the cast steering wheel spider.

I'll take better photos when I do the swap so we can all see what we're looking at.

My Canadian 26 and 27x2 touring's have cast spiders

Interesting! I'd be happy to be wrong if it turns out that's a legit thing. Maybe a Canadian variation?

Apparently this is cast as well - this was an original car from Canada when I bought it.

Is it a 17" wheel ?

I believe so - I used it as a template to make this one: https://youtu.be/qEF5jDQDEgM
