Small Steering Wheels

High I'm struggling trying to find small 11" (280 mm) diameter steering wheels.
It has to be a sporty looking wheel like those made by Uflex,problem is the Uflex V45 looks way too cheap.I was looking for something more intriguing and fancy.
Thanks for any possible help !

Just wondering...Why so small? We've used a 10" brass wheel on some of our our electric boats and I found it exrtremely small but managable because of the boats slow speed. We had a very cramped cockpit which necessitated the small size. On a faster boat, I would certainly try to use at least a 13" wheel--then your options become almost endless.

Hi Tom, it has to go on a 3.4 mt tender and I have seen Avon using some beautiful 11" wheels I can't remember the brand...
a 13 wheel on such a small rib would be too much.
