New Steering Wheel Pics....
New Steering Wheel Pics.... I pulled my stock stereo system and put in an Alpine receiver with a 500W amp and one 10" subwoofer. So the radio controls on my steering wheel no longer worked, and that gave me an excuse to nuke that big frickin stock wheel. Instead, I bought a Momo Commander R steering wheel, which is just 13.5" in diameter.
I LOVE this steering wheel. It makes the car a lot more manageable-- for example, my car has a tendency to "follow" grooves, because of the wide tires, and it's easier to counteract that with this wheel. You just feel the road a lot better, and it's a lot easier to turn the car-- you can turn a corner with just about a quarter turn of the wheel. It's flat on the bottom, so it clears your knees if you want to drop it way down, and it's padded in the right places. It really makes the car a lot more fun to drive. And I never thought about this when I bought it, but the smaller diameter makes it much easier to get in and out of the car. Best interior thing I've done to my car.

Not a big fan of airbags? I know our steering wheels are ugly, and the one you picked is very nice, but I'd rather deal with the ugliness and have an airbag instead, but that's just me.

That wheel looks awesome!
If you're going for weight savings in the back (which I'm guessing, seeing how you did the rear seat delete) you might want to get rid of the seat belts too.

I'll take my chances without an airbag. However, I do plan to get different seats and then I'll put in harnesses as well. The passenger side air bag still works. btw.

Thanks!

Back on topic, the wheel looks great

I've used an airbag before and I'm quite glad it was there, if it wasn't I'd have been pretty f'ed up or dead. You can say the same for seatbelts and the injuries they cause but guess what the overwhelming majority of the time the belt and the bag save lives.
But like I said the MOMO looks good!
