Default RS Type steering wheel... your guys thoughts?

I just bought this online. Does anyone know if these are any good? The price was cheap and the shipping was also cheap. The brand is RS Type. Thanks guys!

Looks like to be a knock off product. Let me guess... eBay?

Doesn't matter if it is good or cr4p, you already bought it. With stuff like this, I would prefer to go name brand.

Just wondering, was/is there anything wrong with your current OEM steering wheel? Any reason to spend money on something that actually would decrease safety in the event of an accident on public roads? Not hating or anything, I just feel very strongly about removing OEM safety equipment like air bags/seat belts.

Now, if you are only using this vehicle as a track car etc, I have no problems with removing the driver/passenger airbag (assuming you have one from the factory) for weight savings.

Yeah i got it on ebay for 25 bucks. I got some other real JDM Type-R red and black stuff so i figured this would go well. The OEM works fine and does have airbags but my SRS doesn't work. I figured if it turned out to be a POS it would be no big deal for the price. But it is my daily driver.
