You won't notice it driving. You'll only notice it when you grab the top and shake it say "Boy is this wheel flimsy" but it won't affect daily operation, or at least it hasn't for me.
I could have bought an NOS wheel for some outrageous amount but I knew what the guy paid for it, so couldn't bring myself to do it just on principle. I wish my wheel was sturdier but I don't wish it to the tune of $600 or $800.

Seems like it would be a lot less noticeable with power steering too. It's been forever since I drove one of these with PS but I recall my dad and Grandpa turning the wheel with one finger.
It sucks the 69_72 wheels are so bad. I bought a 67/68 wheel for mine and it feels really well made. Could be the 3 spoke vs 2 and even without PS feels like a good wheel. Unfortunately they're only available in black.
