new steering wheel...any reviews yet?

i'm checkin out this steering wheel on ebay and i'm liking it just a little too much. i know i'm gonna have to delete the airbag, and i'd like the wheel to move about 2 inches closer to the seat...long legs and short arms lol. any way, anyone have any idea who these people are? i have never heard of them before. not that i'm too into 'ricin' out my cars. but it's nice and i like it and i'm probably gonna be the one to review it.

This item is universal, and will require the use of a steering hub adapter specific to your vehicle. (THIS QUICK RELEASE HUB WILL NOT WORK BY ITSELF IN THE CAR WITHOUT A HUB ADAPTER SPECIFIC TO YOUR VEHICLE)
Make sure whatever hub you get uses your Yaris clock mechanism to pass the horn signal. Twisting up wires is dangerous!

Works bell hubs come in short and long versions.

the odds of getting hit are low actually

but

the odds of dying or paralysis, once hit, -without an airbag-, are highly not
in your favor, especially in a submini like a Yaris

there is NO way in hell you can keep your skull in one piece if you
get hit hard enough where an airbag would deploy


I would only use that wheel if I was racing and had a cage and head anchor (Hans device)


it is a cool wheel though

I don't see that one on NRG's site. Could be a knockoff.

Here is the true NRG product:

I'm an NRG dealer, by the way.
