Aftermarket Steering Wheel

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice from people who have used aftermarket steering wheels before. Im looking to do a royal wheel, with quick release but I'm unsure on what hub to use!

Works Bell 2213 (stock length) or 2213s (shorter for use with a quick release or a wheel with dish). The 2213s is better since it is made out of billet aluminum, the 2213 is cast and can crack.

You can order them from evasive motorsports.

You'll need to code the car to turn off the driver airbag warning light (easy with NCS Expert).

I have a 2213s, took about a month to arrive after I ordered from Evasive since it's special order from Japan.

Lastly, the guys here will say it's dangerous and illegal to drive without an airbag, and while I agree, this post answers your question

Unless it a dedicated track car, I wouldn't be removing the airbag wheel.

Try customizing your existing steering wheel instead. There's a lot of options you can go with: http://www.dallassteeringwheel.com/sw1.htm

The JCW wheel is pretty sweet. That is the most popular for the R56 because it is a direct bolt on and you don't lose your airbag.

For the most amazing looking wheel I have seen, you need to look no further than here. Alcantara, carbon fiber, flat bottom, OEM look, it's got everything!
