Now that the air bag is gone, it's just one nut holding the wheel on. You have to be careful of the clock spring though as the buttons for the horn and maybe the cruise control work thru it.

1st one is really nice, but how's the feel/quality, seeing how they're generic wheels? The 2nd wheel looks like logitech's original wheel.
