JCW alcantara sport wheel
R53, R50 Came off my 2005 with controls.
Used VERY little, maybe 1k miles - like new. $300
$350 with the leather covered inserts (x3)
Easily my favorite mod...and I've done many.
Shipping from 58282

yes, but with the MFSW covers you take off your current wheel

As PGT said...simple to remove and swap if yours is so equipped. One screw on the backside of each 'spoke'
And it is for the First Gen's ie R53, R50

Ok, to be clear, this fits on the R53. What do I need to change if I want this wheel, since I have the early '02 build with the two-spoke wheel? New airbag? (I don't have the MFSW)

Yes, it is a different airbag for a 3 spoke wheel. That is what is stopping me on this one.

Check with Scott at Central Coast Coopers (Vendor Directory) he sells airbags for all kinds of cars as part of his business.
