I've also heard the smaller one was sold for KGs. I'm pretty sure they are much rarer. I've only ever seen one, and it's now on a KG.
EMPI also sold their steering wheels to the Datsun 510 guys. Perhaps the smaller wheel was sold to them too. Any Datsun guys on here that might know?

besides the obvious diameter difference, is there anything else different between the GTV 14 and 15 inch wheel? I have heard that the 14 inch was made primarily for fiberglass Dune Buggy and Karmann Ghia, due to less room between the driver's legs and the steering wheel..anybody know if this is true, and if so, is the 14 inch rarer than the 15 inch?
