pimpalero2003 · 03-10-2006, 04:29 PM

johny_boy32 · 03-10-2006, 05:35 PM

pimpalero2003 · 03-10-2006, 05:49 PM

well before i buy how can i find out

johny_boy32 · 03-10-2006, 06:09 PM

ask the seller but he might lie...i would try andys auto sport for wheels for our car.

pimpalero2003 · 03-10-2006, 06:52 PM

but this is so much cheaper

whether it works or not, I couldn't say. But I do like the design.

dude wtf. if you want a wheel like that, go to an arcade and take the wheel off of one of those driving games..... >_>

Cool wheel but that steering wheel adaptor hub wouldn't fit the alero always. You would need a MOMO 6 hole GM hub adaptor. The one in the auction is for a honda accord hub. Which fits all honda/acuras only. So you will still need to $50 or so bucks for a GM momo wheel adaptor (momo wheel adaptor has 6 holes)

Adaptor

This is the one I used, its the only one i could find that will fit, you can see the ribed rubber gromet behind the wheel when its installed but it doesn't look to bad.

alright thanks chuckles im might do some fiberglassin so you can see it and for the steering wheel of a racing game i like thos and i saw something today on tv for a scion that had a real strearing wheel the with a button you could take it of then put a gaming steering wheel on to play race games and the pedals worked with the game i think the show was street fury i think that would be tight as hell to do but probley really expensive

No it's not, if it doesn't work you are wasting you cash, or spend more getting it to work.

Personally, I like the wheel but I always look at what will fit, then make my choice based on that. Why fall in love with something that won't fit?

Do it right the first time, you'll save money, you don't even know how much!

in my opinion its dumb period to change the wheel if u drive the car on a regular basis......... cars come with airbags for a reason now a days

BlackJack · 03-12-2006, 03:43 AM

look man, much as I hate to do so....I agree with 2sweety. Dont f*** with factory safety, unless you know what the hell you're doing. I hate to see a good man (woman) die for no reason.

03-12-2006, 02:48 PM

Both 2sweet and blackjack are right, Ive been in one accedent since i changed my wheel luckely i had my belt on so i wasn't making out with my steering wheel, but definatly realize what your doing, you are removing the airbag, and in doing so disable both the driver and passanger airbag systems. My car is a daily driver but i am also taking the chance with having no airbags, i always wear my belt but still its a risk that i know and am wiling to take.

Just make sure you understand what you are doing if you chang the wheel.

Redog · 03-12-2006, 03:41 PM

Plus I'm not really sure if it's legal to remove the air bag from a car. I can't see it being legal anyway

AlbinoMonkeyRat · 03-12-2006, 04:01 PM

take it from someone who has been in a head on crash (me):

THE SEATBELT ALONE WILL NOT KEEP YOUR FACE FROM SMASHING INTO THE STEERING WHEEL!

The airbag did inflate, and my head still hit the steering wheel, but not as firmly as it would have if there was no airbag at all. Airbags save lives.

My suggestion to you: only go through with this if you drive ONLY when there is no traffic or it is strictly a track/show car.

Also, that wheel you showed does look pretty sweet.

pimpalero2003 · 03-12-2006, 06:47 PM

yeah it would kinda suck to hit the steering wheel but ive been in 2 pretty bad wreck and each time the air bag didnt go off at the right time the 1st time they went off when they were loading it on to the wrecker and the second i was getting out of the car and the deamn thing went off hit me on the side of the head and it made me cut my hand all up (itpissed me off and i put my fist thru the window) ive never had a wreck that was my fault! but i do under stand what your saying but hell when im in my car even with out airbags im still safer then on a bike i was really lucky when somebody cliped me on the highway on my bike just got a lot and lot of road rast and some broken ribs and cheek bone not to bad at 50 mph and no helmet!

03-12-2006, 07:08 PM

yea that is pretty lucky, ive been in two crashes with my alero and neither time did the airbags go off, both times were over 35 miles per hour and i had my belt on both times.

but anyway just make sure you realize what your doing.
