Aftermarket Steering Wheel

Any of you guys have pics or know if they're made for our 5th gen's?

I want one that is a bit thicker, smaller in diameter, and
also retains my audio controls.

Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

u can choose from Sparcos or Momos. there are other brands, but thse two are probably my choice when i get it. they both make steering wheels. you'll also need to purchase a steering wheel hub from either Sparco or Momo(also called the adaptor).

Don't forget that you lose your airbag.

who cares??

if you drive your car everyday to work, fun and other things, it's not really worth the money aside from more aggressive looks you'll be getting from the steering wheels..

but if you go roadrace and autocross alot, the smaller diameter of the steering wheel helps a ton!

which is why I need one.

Do you know if they have built in buttons for nitrous and if I'll be able to keep the audio controls as well?

And I don't suppose you have a website or something for me would ya?


thanks man.

If you plan on roadracing, why on earth would you need a system? If your getting it for looks, your crazy. I have been in nasty accidents before. If you drive like a nutcase on the road, trust me you need an airbag. Just my 2 cents.


I have never heard of an aftermarket racing type wheel with buttons to control a system. You might not want nitrous buttons on the wheel. Suppose u hit the switch by accident? That button has to go in some obscure place u might not wanna hit so easily.

I have seen some from Momo that have various buttons. I can only guess that you can configure them for nitrous.
