I guess we're showing pics of our steering wheels now...


This is a "Formuling" pulled off of my 80LS race car with some minor additions (the button is an alternate horn, because I like to drive with my finger on the 'trigger' - the other button calls up the Weapons Van for rearmament).

S4,S5 and S6 wheels will fit,although they need to be non-airbag versions,obviously.
Mine is a S6 J-spec Infini wheel.......

most require hubs to fit up properly. i'm not sure of the bolt pattern tho.

check ebay, i saw some really cheap momo knockoffs awhile back for the FB Rx7s, but they only came in blue :/

where did you get it from? thats a pretty nice price for such a decent wheel.

i figure i'll just ebay something eventually, only wheels i can find locally are grant wheels and i really dont like the looks of those.
