Quick release steering wheels?

Has anyone put quick release hubs and a new wheel?

Can the cruise control be re located?

Why would you put a quick release wheel on a car with cruise control? Makes no sense....

I'm sure you could strip the buttons from the wheel and mount them someplace else, but I have to agree... If you are putting a quick release on it's time to ditch the CC. Probably the only reason I haven't replaced my wheel yet.

I use cruise control everytime i'm around known speedtraps or on the highway. It's good for people like me who have a lead foot and shallow pockets.
