Did a quick search and couldn't find much. So post your aftermarket steering wheels. I don't know much about them but what's the common bang/buck choice?

I can't afford the Momo race I want so I bought a cheap one off ebay. Cost me like $40 and I got a hub adapter for about $25. I felt it was worth it because the leather on the stocker was well worn.

I intend to eventually move the buttons fron the stock wheel to the TEMS location. I no longer have TEMS so I won't miss the buttons. Also I never use cruise anyways so I really don't miss it while I make my design/plans.

Okay, that gives you a horn. What do you do for the cruise control? Or doesn't anybody keep the cruise control around here? I want HP and I want a new wheel; but I'm trying NOT to give up functionality.

go to your local auto store, and see if they have any cruise control kits. relocated it to anywhere you want.

I got a wheel for my dd integra and mine turned out to be very small like a go-cart or something they measured a different way to get 320mm from the wheel I got.

Sounds like what I'm planning on doing. Leather stocker is peeling, cracking, crumbling, ripping, and grimy.

So after an extensive search on ebay (~30 seconds), I found these two things:

Hub:

Wheel (initial-D lol..):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AE86...ItemQQcategoryZ33704QQitemZ230109409753QQrdZ1

Am I set if I just bought those two items? Or am I wrong..

be VERY CAREFUL ordering the cheapo wheels off of ebay.... as stated before...they ARE smaller in diameter by a good amount...not the best for performance because it will require more turning of the wheel to turn the car.... plus it looks weird IMO lol

I thought smaller diameter steering wheels gives a better feel when turning. I dunno...maybe someone can explain this?

when it comes to ebay, you get what you pay for, I bought some generic wheel, cause i needed the car on the road as soon as possible (blown airbag), now my crap wheel is coming apart, I"m hoping on my next paycheck to get a genuine momo.

My wheel feels great. I have felt a Momo race before and there is a noticeable differance but mine doesn't feel low quality. It is quite smooth and the stitching is very good. I have no regrets with the steering wheel.

The hub on the other hand, I hate. I can't seem to make my horn work. If someone with a genuine Momo hub could chime in I would appreciate it. Did you have any problems making the horn work when you installed your wheels?if you have any pictures of a Momo hub that would be great too. Thanks.
