people mentioned longboard wheels here, some of those have deep offsets so you wouldn't even have the nut scraping against your palm as you shift, plus they would feel better b/c they're gummier. it'd be sick if there was a low profile bearing though so that you could get the wheel on there w/ the bearing and have it spin while on the shifter. my bug has a skate wheel as a gas pedal and a heineken tap as a shifter, the wheel fits w/ the bearing so spins as you press on the gas.
