Question Aftermarket Steering wheel

Hey guys,

So I am 6'4" (195cm) and the steering wheel rack doesn't come out as far as I wanted it too. I was thinking of getting an aftermarket wheel either way, but I need a question of mine answered. I understand that I'll be losing the airbag, but by about how much will an aftermarket steering wheel for these cars bring the wheel towards the driver?

I'm already sitting as straight up as I am comfortable sitting and the wheel still is just slightly too far away. By maybe a cm or 2 and also too close to my legs for turning safely with my hands on the wheel. I now kinda squish my right hand against my leg when turning to the right.

If an aftermarket steering wheel does bring it closer to me, what are your guys' recommendation for steering wheels?

Do you know of anything that looks a bit better and is available in Europe?
