If you get a quick release, I suggest buying your girlfriend/wife/mistress/cousin a large purse. Before the excitement of her new purse wears off, tell her she'll be carrying your steering wheel from now on.

Most buy for the looks.
Or,because its a "xyz" wheel--status.
You track/race your car,get an appropriate wheel.
Really don't understand...
Older cars back in the 50-60-70's had these huge thin wheels.
Putting in a smaller diameter wheel not only looked good but the car
was easier to steer.Had a beautiful wood Nardi with polished spokes
in a old Jag.
A work of art!

yes you can retain and reactivate the airbag and CC functions when you reinstall your oem wheel. also when you do first remove the oem steering wheel be careful not to strip the bolt using the torx screw. your airbag light will also come on so you will need a resistor or need to rewire it.
please take the time to search next time. here are threads to answer your noob questions.

My car definitely wasn't a hoopty by any means. Hence my motivation for removing the steering wheel, having a crazy alarm, and unhooking my ECU. I did have Rotas though
These days you won't catch me modding a Honda unless it's a weekend only car.
This dude gets it!

I like having a quick release.
Setup is nag short hub and quick release and personal neo grinta (regular dish) and nardi deep corn.
I have fixed bucket seats in my z and I really like the position of the deep corn when drifting because everything is closer and more comfortable, but when I use signals it's kind of a stretch but you get used to it. Plus it makes it easier to get in and out. But I just throw my wheel on the floor board, never carry it around anywhere.
The personal was closer to stock and if you have stock seats it would be a better choice if it's a looks thing. Either way, quick release isn't a antitheft device by any means, so if it's security you're after, this ain't it... Haha.. Besides you can still drive with out the wheel...

why? so you can look cool and pretend you are a racecar driver even though you never have seen a single day on the track, not all but a majority. those that are real racers (track not street) you know who you are this does not apply to you
