Default Swapping Steering wheels

I wanna swap my OEM wheel off for possibly either an RSX Wheel or an S2K wheel.

I've read how to's and what not, so I kinda know whats involved. But do I have to get a steering wheel hub? and would one hub be universal that I could put any wheel on it, should i decide that i cant get an RSX or S2K wheel?

thanks in advance

What are you putting this on? A 4thGen or 5thGen?

Also, you don't use a Hub on Stock Wheels..

You shouldnt have to use any kind of adaptor or anything like that, I put an ek9 steering wheel on my bb6 and it was direct fit. I've seen s2k steering wheels on preludes, but never a rsx wheel on a prelude, so im not sure about that one.

5thGen's can swap wheels..

But 4thGens on the other hand.. Don't really have options.. Not stock wheels anyways..

preludepower has a write-up for the RSX one i believe..

the s2k one works and airbags deploy as they should, a guy on socalprelude crashed his lude w/ s2k wheel and it popped to protect him. i know that the AP1 steering wheels for s2k work, and that the AP2 need more modification because it has +1 plug i think... im not 100% sure if thats true, but look for it. Also, you have to solder some to retain cruise control. no hub neccessary as already stated.

From which year though?? And what model?

4thGen's might have a few options, but I don't know of any one who has tried...

My understanding is that similar year wheels are interchangeable...
S2k & (DC5) RSX will work on a 5th gen Prelude
92-95(EG) Civics and 94-01(DC2) Tegs will work on a 4th gen Prelude
It has to do with the splines....

96-00 civics, S2000s, and DC5 steering wheels work on Preludes and vice versa.
