steering wheel adapters

O.K. I know I'm a little thick between the ears, but I'm confused. I'm replacing my steering column with a Flaming River from Summit Racing. What steering wheel fits this column other than Flaming River wheels? And, do I need an adapter regardless of which wheel I get. The adapter has length to it and I'm worried the wheel will get too close. Any advice would be appreciated. How did you guys do it?

I have had to use adapters for aftermarket steering wheels.

You would need an adapter for any aftermarket steering wheel anyway but there might be some GM wheel that would fit without one. Even though you purchased the column through Summit, I'd check the Flaming River website and consider buying an adapter directly from them to be sure you get the correct one for your column...

Most after market columns are based on the GM style but more are now making Ford based columns as well. So you will need an adapter for which ever column style you get. Unless you want to run a stock steering wheel for the brand your column is based on, but if that is the case why buy an aftermarket column?
