Sparco Ring Steering Wheel
I finally managed to switch my stock wheel with a Sparco Ring. The hub adapter came from japanparts.com, and fitted perfectly, including the circuit that cancelled the airbag light. Now I have a better feel, as it's thicker and way smaller than the original. God, how I hated that volume control buttons !

Was there much involved in doing the install? Did you have to disarm the drivers Airbag?

Hello Mr Graham,
The install was extremelly smooth, you couldn't tell the difference between the original parts and the hub you provided. All the parts went just in place, including the elctronic circuit that cancelled the airbag light.
Regarding the driver's airbag, now it rests in my garage along with the OEM steering wheel. I hope there will be no need for it in the future.
Thanks for your business and I look forward to order more items from you.

You disabled the drivers airbag?!?!
Yeah.....let's hope you don't need it anytime in the future.
Let's hope you don't do a face plant into that nice new steering wheel if you get into an accident.
Dude.....sorry.....I was going to withhold comment that I wasn't a fan of that steering wheel. No biggie. To each his own.
But to risk your life by removing the airbag, just for a steering wheel that is isn't even an upgrade (IMO)? Not smart.

looks good. not my choice of wheel, but if i did a steering wheel swap, id have to go with a quick release hub. anytime you do a mod like that, people like to steal it. No steering wheel, no drive off haha

You'll need the "With Airbag" option, because this contains the Airbag-delete loom
Not compromising your safety, but just so you know
OffRoad use ONLY
All liability for use is with the End-User ( = You )

Nope. No interference. I pulled by the 12 o clock simultaneously pushing the 6, then I reversed. I applied some effort, but it came off...
