I have been wanting a new streeing wheel but i dont know if im up to the task. The previous owner of the car was messing with wiers andtheair bagwent off. so the air bag was cut out, and i have this hole in the streeing wheel.

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.
