Default Steering wheels

What steering wheels can be interchange with our cars? I recently had to fix my headlight switch and had to rip the air bag off the bracket and well I figured I might as well replace my steering wheel with a better one.

what wheel are you running right now? A popular swap is the 3-spoke sport or 3-spoke S4 steering wheels, both are more or less direct fit IIRC.

If you're talking quick-release or racing style wheels with no airbags, I have no idea.

Oem is what I'm looking for. I have the ugly four spoke right now. I really like the flat bottoms though and was wondering if its much of a pain to get them to work.

To my knowledge none of the flat-bottom steering wheels (TT-S, etc.) are a direct bolt on. Not to mention they're tough to find for a reasonable price. I seem to remember seeing a couple 3 spoke sport wheels in the classifieds either here or the zine, take a look around maybe you'll find one.

Yeah. I wouldn't of had to do the upgrade if my headlight hadn't stopped work and one of the bolts holding the airing in hadn't been stripped. I just saw as an excuse to replace it
