see what i mean though, you had to go 4 pages back and still only found one thread, its not letting me search by relevancy. but anyway, the pics of yours are no longer working in that thread. but how much closer is the wheel to you if at all? and do you have the quick release hub? i have a 6 point roll cage and removing the steering wheel would do wonders for getting in and out of the car. i just dont want one if the steering wheel is going to be a lot closer to me.

Yes the search funcition is a bit strange... but if you go to advanced you can deside to do a title search only and then you will narrow the search allot.

Mine wheel is a Sparco R375 suede wheel with a Momo hub. I dont know how mutch narower the wheel actualy is tha stock.. but it's about right acording to me. I am 183cm tall and have Arizen seats.
But if you aint satisfied there are spacers to purchase.

I dont know if there is any quick realese hubs availible for GM. But Sparco makes an weld in one.

I love my R375, and my friend has one other sparco and they are realy nice. The sparco horn button sucks though.

can you aftermarket wheel guys confirm that a 2ohm resistor in the airbag harness plug will get rid of the air bag light?

I think I used two 1.6ohm resistors, but I'll have to check. And yes it does work.
