Steering Wheel -- Flat or Dished?

I'm looking at aftermarket steering wheels (Momo/Sparco/OMP) for my Beetle and was wondering what you guys are running -- flat or dished.

I think that the style of the beetle turn signal switch determines that you need a dished wheel, or a tall spacer with a flat wheel. Other than that, it really comes down to personal preference, Do what YOU like.

I run a Momo Prototipo wheel and I love it! it's flat. I would not go for a dished, or tulip, because of the driving position. Unless you have very short arms and long legs, or your are driving verrry laid! The pedals are far, the shifter is almost out of reach the the stearing is already close.

The Momo adapter appears to space the wheel out a good deal. That's why I was concerned about adding a dished wheel...

I have a flat wheel on a short grant adapter on my 72 super and I hate it! My knuckles hit the wiper lever sometimes. It's what I had at the time I built the car but will be changed soon. If i stay with the same adapter I will use a dished wheel or I'll get a longer adapter.
