Cerezo · 04-29-2008, 12:28 AM

who has a good contact for an aftermarket steering wheel.

i saw the hartge carbon one in another post and i was really impressed, but guys were saying the price was 4,000!

The blue wheel sucks!!

OP, caution when you buy from Ebay. They almost never sell the wheel with the airbag bracket attached. This bracket CANNOT be bought separate. I went with Tischer to ensure I got all the parts. You will also need the multi-function switches. I chose the M faceplate, because it does fit a little snugger. It was well worth the $1000 + cost!!

Ya, im staying away from the eBay wheel because of the missing airbag bracquet. saving up for this mod though.

Wow, not trying to offend but that blue wrap looks freaking terrible.

There is no price difference in the sport steering wheels trim, M Sport, Standard Sport Package Black or M3, all the same, Im selling the MSport Wheel with M Trim, Matching Perforated Ebrake handle and M Footrest for 350 plus shipping, Or Local pickup in Socal,

You just need to find a airbag and the buttons, I would order the buttons from tischer but look for the airbag on ebay, you might get it for 300.
