If you want an aftermarket wheel like that with that feel then why not just get one of these.


you can choose its diameter and color and it comes with the safety of the airbag so insurance companies can not f*ck you for it. They're quite expensive but well worth it they feel great and the quality is superb. Just take a look at www.raid-rdi.com

Great looking wheel. I would love to have it in my car. One thing however to keep in mind is that cars that don't have airbags have steering columns designed to collapse and provide protection in the event of an accident. Most airbag equiped vehicles have different engineering in the steering column. An older car without an airbag is probably safer for the driver then a newer car designed around an airbag with the bag missing.

How about this for a steering wheel mod?

Another option to get around the safety issue with an airbag is to (properly) install a 4, 5 or 6 point racing harness.

- no, don't install it.. not because of the airbag, but because of the looks

Good looking wheel. It looks narrow and lower at the thumb, which is what I'm after. That looked like one of their Freeway models. In any case, I could not find any prices??? The only distributor I found in the US was into wheels for boats.

Watchu talking about? If you saw it in person, you'd love it.

Well, it's still for sale. If it's not sold in a couple of weeks, I might go ahead and install it.
