nardi steering wheels.

although i dont own a rx7 (yet) i do own a mazdaspeed protege. i saw that the fd could take a steering wheel directly off a miata or a 3rd gen protege and with some minor modifications it would fit on the steering wheel. im wondering if the fd wheel like these ones pictured would fit on a protege?

Are you prepared to drop north of $300 on a steering wheel?
If so, the answer is definitely "maybe"

Should fit no problem, just need to modify the connectors for the airbag and maybe the horn connector.

^ In addition to that you need to add two notches by the steering wheel hub because of the different placement of the turn signal cancelers.

Also that red stiched FD wheel is about $800 You are better off getting one from a mazdaspeed miata. looks the same but does not require turn signal modification.
