Default Corvette steering wheel???

I've heard of people doing this, but have never actually talked to people who had it done. I wanna know if I can get a corvette steering wheel to fit on my 2000 SS and still have the functional air bag. Does anyone know where I can buy a corvette wheel for a reasonable price(corvette parts are expensive) and maybe a hub/adapter to install it. Also, has anyone done something similar that could explain the steps to do this or know of a write-up out there that I could read??? I'm not a big fan of the factory wheel, so I'm thinking a corvette wheel would look nice in there. thanks

I'm looking to replace my steering wheel also. I looked at MOMO, but I want the airbag. So a corvette wheel seems to be the coolest way to go.

Talk about a thread revival. I thought nobody would post up on this one. I just thought it was a neat idea because it is a smaller wheel and still has the use of the airbag and looks ALOT nicer. Also, since the corvette and f-body have alot of parts that are "similar" i figured it could be done. If anyone out here wants to chime in and shed some light on this mod, please feel free.

i agree. the firebird wheels are even worse. huge in diameter but very thin grips. i hate it. lol i got big hands. i found a real nice aftermarket momo but ya id like to live longer so ill take the airbag as a just in case. maybe call a dealership?

really interested in this as well. Sounds great because my stock wheel is starting to fall apart where the outer part of the wheel meets the center

I'm pretty sure the corvette steering wheel wouldnt fit a camaro or firebird. They way its assembled inside the housing and the different way its hooked up I dont think would work on the camaro or firebird. thats just my opinion. It would be awesome though, but I highly doubt that a corvette one would fit. anyone tried a google search for it?
