Which steering wheel should I get?

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.
 
They all look the same to me, actually...

I'd look for one with a working airbag - you never know...


BTW, what car is this for? I'd be shot for getting a wheel like that for my caravan, but I'd never get a wheel like the caravan's for a Ferrari.

None work with airbags. I also don't ever plan to fix mine either. I was quoted $1500 to repair the airbag system. The airbags back in 94 were like bombs anyway.

It's a 94 miata.

Who needs an airbag in a Miata anyway? Its not like you were going to survive the Tahoe that ran over your car. 😛

The Bride one is pretty nice, and 13.8" is a reasonable size. My last vehicle had a 12.6" and it takes a little bit of getting used to.

Be sure that you can see your gauges with the size wheel you're getting.
 
Whichever one steers you away from LA! 😛

Sorry, I couldn't resist 😱

Cheers Shawn :beer:
 
I think I'm going to get the 3rd one. It's looks basically like the 2nd one but it's cheaper and it's a little bigger, 13.5". That's closer to the stock size.

Might not be a bad idea.

Good question. I'd actually like the wheels from the 2nd gen miatas. 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.

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.
