I'll be switching out mine to get rid of the airbag soon hopefully before it blows on me in a drifting "off"

I'll let you know how it works out.

Go for it. Get one of those simulated woodgrain racing wheels like the VIP guys do.

Well, not exactly when you are just "drifting" more like "drifting" off course..LOL

But that's only if you are really pushing it, and what's the use if you are not?

I have an old 2 spoked dished Momo wheel that was on my Hachi.. ebay auction stuff.. Or I have my eye on a Sparco Milano, again a nice concave 350mm wheel.
