Default C6 Steering wheel on C5

Has anyone ever put a C6 steering wheel on a C5. I feel like I am driving a bus with the stock wheel.
Thanks Jamie

Not that I have seen, but you can just get one off a Colbalt, it will probably be cheaper.

Is there a significant difference between the wheels?? I'm guessing it could be done,I doubt they change the basic mounting mechanical s.

I don't understand the driving a bus comment. The C5 wheel isn't paticularly big.

Would be interesting to know if someone has done this or at least attempted it and what the results were.

What are you going to do with the air bag. The air bag system is different on a C6 and will not work.

you could probably do it but it would be very expensive to convert all of the parts needed.

Why would you want to do this? The C5 is much better looking than the early "headless
dead chicken C6 wheel. The latter C6 wheel isn't bad but it's a GM corporate wheel used
in Cobalts, Saabs, my Pontiac G6, etc?

The C5 wheel is like that of a school bus. Its way to big. I really like the momo in my c4 but that has no airbag.

I don't think that the C5 wheel is like a school bus wheel at all! I think you're nuts!
