Ive got a universal ebay one and have no complaints so far. Been using it for almost a year now. Mine didnt come with screws though. You will need a NRG short hub adapter though. Otherwise the steering wheel will stick out a bit much.


You have the same one on eBay that I posted? Its only 1 inch thick. My steering hub and steering wheel currently sits at stock position.

Tlo: There is NO way around it if they want it badly enough it's gone fullstop.

Come on, theres alot of car thiefs walking around who will see a car with no wheel and pass on it for an easier one. The whole 'if they want it bad enough they will have it so dont even try' attitude has gone too far. If thats the case, why even lock your doors, have an alarm, roll up your windows or even take the keys out.

The harder you make it to steal the more likely they will pass on it for something else. Chances are some old supra with no stearing wheel and an alarm indicated isnt that high on the list of cars to be stolen that day and he will move on.

I come from a land down under
My post was about a car that has been specifically targeted by a thief that actually wants the car and I stand by it if someone wants your car it's gone.

No wheel might deter the casual thief but I still think the whole QR wheel thing is stupid. (I have a good security system and imobiliser fitted and rarely park my car where I can't see it)

I bought this but my wheel was shipped to my house in dickson and Im in college in cookeville waiting for my parents to ship it to me. Its actually very well made and Im betting its going to do well with the momo wheel I got from CK for an awesome price.

I dont have the exact same one you posted but I have the usual ebay "junk" so to say. Mine was like $19.99 and its about 2.5" thick. Thats why I suggested the NRG short hub. What kind of hub do you have now?

My hub is one of those cheap ebay ones. Its a univeral hub. It is on the car already with horn and everything wired. All I need is to pick my Quick D/C adaptor and I should be good to go.

I was thinking about those NRG ones but blah. I get the point you got to pay to play but everyones gotta cheat sometime :)

Yes but cheating on the #1 interface you have with the car isn't the smartest place to cut corners ;)

True IJ but how are products supposed to be tested if no one buys them to try them, I'm gonna give mine hell in a parking lot first.

Test in a place you can't kill yourself, and all should be fine.

While you're "giving it hell" of course ;)

LOL, I'll see if I can dig up a cam. No promises though.
Like I said before it looks to be of decent design and metal, but shit coated in gold is always shit, you cant tell until you dig inside.
