Sean,
The Euro GTS and later GT5 etc came from the factory with the Momo Prototipo wheel. Here is one on an early car like yours:

That would be my recommendation. I have one in my car and love it!
LeCarra makes a Prototipo-like wheel:
The hub is bigger but the wheel diameter is the same. This one has a garish chrome mounting hub for some reason but mostly they are black. That’s the next best choice IMHO….
