Why are you replacing your steering wheel? That pesky airbag got you worried?

steering wheel looks like crap and the airbags don't work anyway.

sounds like you've been hanging around riceboy forums

eh, the leather on my steering wheel rotted because one of the jackasses that owned my car before left it out in the rain a lot. it was all comming off so I wrapped the stitched leather around it. it looks alright but I'd rather just replace it. especially since I can feel the lumps through the leather wrap.

Have you checked to see if this is a known issue on your car Shawn? If so, it might be covered by a Mazda dealership.

Do newer Miata wheels fit on the existing rack?

Might not be a bad idea.

Good question. I'd actually like a wheel from the 2nd gen miata. But I'm pretty sure the air bag is not compatable with the old system.

Meh, the airbags didn't work anyway. I like the new wheels too, maybe I'll look into it.

I'm an OEM kinda guy, to me, all those are a bit ricey. But your car is alot flashier than mine is, it'll suit yours alot better than it would on mine.

To me, they all look the same.

Your airbags don't work either?

Don't know, never been in an accident ;). However, the airbag lights are operating normally, so I assume they are still working.
