Default Aftermarket Steering wheel+hub?

Who here runs an aftermarket wheel? And If so what hub are you running.

One of my connections is hooking me up with a Momo wheel for cheap, but Im afraid that I wont be able to find a hub that works on our cars.

Post pics when it's done! Should look nice. I'd let you borrow my steering column tools if I had them with me. You should be able to rent them from Autozone. I had to buy higher grade bolts at Home Depot to pull the steering wheel, since the Vatozone bolts that came in the kit were bending.

I had a Grant hub and 'tuner' style wheel. Difference felt great compared to the stock wheel.

Stock wheel just feels so big and heavy, especially after actually driving the car with another wheel. I need to get another one for my new Camaro. How much did you pay if you don't mind my asking.

I have a special connection with a whole saler so My price is different. The wheel retail is $160ish and hub is about $80.
I got the Monte Carlo 380mm. Little smaller than the stock but not super small.

Finally got around to installing it. Had to modify the collar of the Hub bc it rubbed on the steer column. Removed all the airbag components.

With this wheel, Its sooo much easier to get in and out of my Fixed back seat. Gives the car a much lighter feel. Extrememly pleased.

After your Momo install, does your turn sig cancellation function still work?

Great looking wheel...the '02 Camaro wheel is one of the worst looking I've ever seen!

Yeah Everything works aside from the AIR BAG light. Turn signals and the TS cancellation function.
