Default Aftermarket Steering Wheels

I dont get why somebody would sacrafice the safety of an airbag just for the aftermarket look of a steering wheel, especially on a daily driver. What are your guys thought on that?

I agree, I wouldn't do it in anything other than a dedicated race car

Completely agree. If you want something slightly smaller, and cooloer looking, the S2K wheels will bolt into an EK with no mods.

I never even thought about there being no airbag...

Wow, I won't be doing that any time soon.

i agree with you flip. maybey a show car or a race car, but i dont think the wheel makes that much of a differenceingrip. even during spirited driving....at least not on a daily driver.

Seriously?! I'd been wondering about that for ages when I had my Ek but I couldn't get an answer! Damn!
