Do you have a death wish kid?
I am not gonna sit and preach to ya, that's worthless with you. If you absolutely must have one of these unsafe steering wheels i'm with alerored04, go with #3. It's the lesser of 4 evils.
Please have a last will and testament prepared, leaving whats left of the car to an Aleromod member, we can strip it for parts. We'll donate the park bench on your trunk to the local park district if they will take it.

First 3 look like wheels found on those arcade games at the movie theatre. The 4th one looks nice, but maybe on a forklift...hmm... hard choice.
Id go with option #5.

I guess I can see why, they are faster, better, more reliable, and more customizable than an alero but still... I rather would take something that is harder to customize and that u dont see done too often. Civic is not my type.

I think most of the people here like CUSTOM work a lot... Buying a wing, body kit, and a carbon fiber hood is not really custom... cause anyone can buy those things... I've seen a lot of aleros here with body kits, but not one of them looks the same cause each person does something different to their car and the kit to make it unique... This is probably the reason why they are bashing you a lot... I've had my share of bashing.... i.e. my interior work....

Dude, do what you want, I like the momo steering wheels but not that crazy about the one you picked. Also I know from experience (I have a 13" Grant on my Alero) that the 13" steering wheel tightens up your steering a lot. And don't worry about the airbag thing, back in the day (like the 80's) they didn't have airbags and for some strange reason people are still living after driving. Huh!

That comment proves you are braindead
And a lot of people were killed needlessly before they were made. Do you realize how many people's lives have been saved by them, or injuries lessened. But I know you young guys are invincible.
 Tell that to my Aunt who's son was killed by a young guy who was invicible and thought he could control a car after 8 beers. An airbag would have saved his life had he been in my aunt's car with airbags. The young drunk kid was thrown from his car, no airbag, didn't wear his seatbelt.
Dead, very dead!

And tell how safe airbags how to my friends family, who's son was killed by his neck being snapped from the airbag collision, and another who was burned to death inside his car from a jammed seatbelt....Something can always happen...Life is always Random
Not arguing with you...Because airbags have great numbers with saving lives and reducing injury...but you take the chance of death each time you get behind the wheel and push the pedal

Yeah I banged up the Alero, but it wasn't my fault and it will be riding again soon, I can't wait
As for this guy, driving a car isn't like playing a video game in the arcade. All those wheels look like the wheels on the sit down driving games on the boardwalk down the shore.
Sorry I never seen a dash of a manual 2.4 before, but since all Aleros have the same exact dash (excect for the PRND321 in the center) I really don't think it matters.
Removing the air bag is illegal on a road worthy vechial is so equiped. Since your car was made after 1998, it has to have an airbag. Sorry dude, but you're really not racking up the "car Smarts" awards here.
Yes you do need that Civic. You already have the "Mod" skills for a fast civic. Not one damn thing done to the motor, but a couple of grand into apperance mods. The Alero might look better IYO, but the Civic will gain 150 HP from a new steering wheel. You should look into that
You's got a 4 banger right? What's a header for a 4 banger $200 to $300 or so? How much is the streering wheel? Get the point? No, maybe I can help
Steering Wheel:
Illegal
Expensive
Apperance mod only
Air bag light needs to be bypassed
Header
Better flowing exhaust
10 to 20 HP gain (typical)
clean up engine bay a bit
better sounding exhaust
Not saying "get a header" I'm just using it as an example. I really think you should get a Civic, you'll be happier

I'm kind of with whiteliquid on the safety thing, anytime you're on the road your life is technically at risk, period. Redog makes a valid point about it being illegal, but so are quite a few mods people do, whether it be darker tint than is legal, or in many states, the ever popular clear corners are illegal, but these are things that don't really get you into trouble and that would probably include the steering wheel, they'd just nail you with a ticket for it if they'd already pulled you over and thought you were a rooster....but when it boils down to it, I don't like any of the steering wheels that are displayed here, I don't feel they'd match the interior well even with your seats. Do what you want I guess...

I was gonna go off about survival of the fittest and how we need to weed out the weak from the heard, and then you wrote the second part. BTW, wouldn't your aunt's kid be your cousin?
