I believe it's the same diameter less the flat bottom.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these with the carbon fiber top portion? Lextuners.com is down! I need it asap.

That steering wheel is hot. How difficult is it to swap out the airbag, etc...

I don't understand why people are paying $400 for a steering wheel. It's a cool mod, don't get me wrong, but why waste the money on something that only you will see / use?

It's kinda like getting a short shifter for a manual. It enhances the driving experience.

Like Inspire said, it enhances the driving experience.

Think about it, the steering wheel is like the only item that is used 100% of the time while *using* the car, so if someone's interested in enhancing that experience than it's by far worth it to them.

You would hate to know how much I spent on my steering wheel then... I can assure you it was more then $400 due to the intricate stitching. Pics can be found in the link below
