Im looking for a new steering wheel. Are their packages out there with the wheel and hub? i would like it to be about the same distance from the dash like stock with tilt but a different shape. Air bag is not necessary.
the quick release hub is from ati. call mike akerly to order 248 848 9200 ext. 160. it is pricey (i believe $280), but it is high quality and made for the c5 so install was simple and it included a 2" extention to get the wheel out to about the stock location. for an additional 70 they will send you a carbon fiber plate to cover up the hole left behind, but i made me own out of a badly damaged front splitter i had laying around.
i got the nardi wheel from amazon. i forget how much it was.
were you able to trick the sensor or do you live with the airbag light? also would doing this cause me to fail inspection?
I put in a resistor to trick the system which is super simple. I dont know about inspection because we dont have inspections in ohio. you'd have to check with your state.
matthew, can I see some pics of your vette? I love the wheels and stance (from what I can see from your avatar….!) Wheel looks real clean too. I like it ah lot
I think the C5 wheel fits with the C5, but damn, that 06+ C6 wheel looks GREAT!! How much did that end up costing for the full swap? That has an airbag too so no sensor issues as well?
