I've been looking for a long time trying to find out if a 2006+ Corvette wheel will fit. It would look so much better than the FBody wheel. Maybe I'll just buy one and find out myself.

I'm curious on how you broke the wheel. Did you use it for support while entering and exiting the vehicle? If so I'll need to find something else to grab onto.

well an idea for firebird/trans am people, check out the grand am steering wheel. ill bet it will fit easier than a corvette one, plus it has a pontiac dart on the air bag, and it looks 1000000000 times better than the TA steering wheel.
problem for us chevy guys is that the only nice chevy steering wheel is the corvette one, but it looks like its different.
also, i dont see a corvette wheel that has stereo controls in it, so youd loose that.
heres a comparison:

well the previous owner must have been using it to get in and out because i had the radiator and battery pulled and i needed to turn the wheel with no power steering and pop, it broke..... and I had someone pushing on the tire too for help....
and here's another question, if I buy a used steering wheel, should i get one with the airbag in it?

if your airbag is still good then get a wheel without. it should save you some money to get it without.
they are separate pieces as you can see from those pics i posted above.

i used to own a '92 Lumina Z34 back in the day.
i always liked the steering wheel in that car.
heres what it looked like...

any ideas?
