Im trying to work out what is the better size steering wheel 
for general driving but mostly track work and learning to flick and drift with a non powersteering car is it better to have a smaller or larger steering wheel Ie 13 inch or 15 inch ?

hmm... i don't know how big my steering wheel is but its big !!
its the autotechnica one i don't know the model but its like momo style all i can say its hard to drive because the steering wheel nearly touches your leg. I think smaller is better ?

A mid to small size wheel is best.
Too large it feels awkward, too small and you loose the feel of the car. Too small also makes you move it a lot more as the diametre is less than a bigger wheel, ie: more turns needed.
I've had a 11inch wheel, a 15inch and my current 13.5 inch wheel, and i'd have to say around 13-14 icnhes is the best. But it all depends on feel. If you like to move the wheel quickely, than get a smaller type, but if you like to have a big amount of gripping space, get a bigger one.
Personal opinion.
Thanks

PS- if your drifting, its always best to have a circular wheel to allow the wheel to 'slip' through your hands rather than having a wheel with a cut bottom as it will make you loose your handle on it. Hope that makes sense
