how about the 2006 MCS with the 3 spokes... will the R56 3spoke fit on it? if it will, will the airbag from the 2006 3spoke fit on the r56 3 spoke? the trims are not swappable right?

It will not fit, two different air bag systems, the slip ring is different and the control pads are different.

*Edit: rkw beat me to it.

If you are looking for the nice wheel you have in the picture above for a straight swap to the R53 three spoke. You will have to pick up an 3 spoke airbag at you dealership or somewhere else as we don't currently carry them.



#1 JCW Leather Alcantara Steering Wheel - Thicker then stock wheel and *thicker then the r56 stock wheel.

Then the key pads left and right, plus the bottom silver insert.

Then the wire set for the connections to the slip ring.

When you install, make sure to disconnect the battery for install.

That picture above shows the very nice JCW 3 piece Leather dash ( 7/2004+) and matching JCW Leather Down tubes (R50 R52 R53). We have those here.

I hate the 2 spoke wheel, and I want an NRG quick release and a sparco wheel, I do not plan on keeping the airbag, and the horn isn't that big of a deal, what else do I need? or will the NRG hub bolt straight up?
