Steering wheels....

I could use a new steering wheel. I was wondering what to go by when looking for one to fit, what do I need to know when finding one?

Also,will steering wheels from FC's fit?

On Ebay somtimes there are 3 spoke Mazdaspeed steering wheels 4sale, $120.00-180.00 depending.
I just bought the MOMO Trek and love it, check it out on MOMO website.

Yes 2ed gen steering wheels will fit perfect. I use a 2ed gen wheel from a GXL. it's about 13 inch, big, fat, grip
and is 3 spoke. the only bad thing is there is no turn signal cancle-er. Most mgf's wheels are a standard center size. so different adapters from different mgf's
can be used.

3rd gen steering wheels would fit perfectly too if some how you can find one without the damn airbag.

Myself, I got a black Nardi classic 3 spoke. Its slightly smaller(barely) than stock. Its perfect for me. The wheel and adapter came off of a 92 FD that my friend had back in Japan. Anyway FD steering wheels should bolt on no problem because when we were looking for wheel adapters we found that the SA(FB) and the FD used the same ones.

Yeah, I really like the ones VB has. I just want a temporary one right now, to go with my new interior that's going in.

I'm thinking about getting a momo or something. I want something smaller. The stock 4 spoke on my gsl is huge. I can't get my leg under there enough to heel toe. I keep hitting the damn steering wheel.

Does anyone have a smaller than stock steering wheel and no power steering? I was a little concerned about that before I get an aftermarket wheel.
