Nice setup there with the stitching and red hub.

I personally prefer the stock wheel. I'd rather not lose the airbag and cruise control.

Are there any advantages to these aftermarket wheels besides looks?

Sweet and simple...



As far as advantages go...it doesn't feel like I am driving a bus anymore. I can't believe it took me so long to do this. I never used cruise control and don't care much for airbags so why not? haha. The car feels more responsive.

The stock wheel is so big and bulky.. This one is lighter weight and has a better feel.. It does improve my driving experience.. but I do understand that losing airbags and cruise control is not for everyone..

I also have a bad habit of driving gangsta style (aka one hand on top of wheel) .. I was always afraid the air bag would break my arm in an accident..

I like to work on the car's interior a lot and being able to take the steering wheel off is big a plus! so much easier to get around under the dash.. Plus being able to take the steering wheel with you is some added security and looks F&F.. haha
