New Steering Wheel Pics....
I'd like to ditch my airbag too.
Can you see the gauges well with the smaller size?
Is it true what was said earlier about most aftermarket wheels sticking way out? I'm just starting to look into these.

Is it detachable? (My first guess is no.

But maybe removing the airbag is not strictly legal. I found this on a website:
Disclaimer—Every automobile manufactured for sale in the United States must be equipped with an Automatic Restraint System which meets Federal Safety Standards. MOMO has been advised it may well be a VIOLATION of Federal Law for any manufacturer, distributor, dealer or motor vehicle repair business to remove an airbag or otherwise render it inoperative. Accordingly, Federal Law should be regarded as prohibiting MOMO distributors from removing an airbag steering wheel and replacing it with a MOMO Steering Wheel. MOMO expressly disclaims any liability for any and all damage, injury, or other recovery related to any MOMO Steering Wheel installed in a vehicle previously having an Airbag Restraint System.

lol back on track... i love the wheel! it matches the rest of the interior trim quite nicely! i just wish they made ones like that with airbag compatibility. Also keep in mind that the air bags don't do anything in a side impact, rear impact, roll, fli, spin etc... They only work in frontal impacts. So you have to figure the odds of getting in a wreck first, then the odds of that wreck being a frontal impact. Then the odds of it beng at a high enough speed that the seatbelts by themselves won't be enough to protect you.
I'm still undecided, though.
