First gen/thirdgen steering wheel

Are the firstgen steering wheels larger than the thirdgen wheels (diameter), or is the fact that they're thinner just making them look bigger?

I think its mostly that they are thinner, making them look bigger, BUT those cars also didn't always have power steering, so you needed the extra leverage of a larger wheel...
