Yes, no air bag and slight differences. Actually, if you got hookups in Canada, you can get one cheap for $50 used. Canadian register civic were standard since it was not required to have airbags.

Are they smaller? Do they have a thicker grip?, no, same size, just looks cooler. Thicker grip can be found with a leather wrap, that was also a add-on accessories.

no offense, but they don't look too great. if you want a nice wheel that feels nice as well, i would go for the itr non-srs for the oem look. or just simply get an aftermarket. they'll feel much better than the jdm eg wheel.

yep, I ditch my SiR2 for an ITR one, better grip and feel. Only thing thats suck w/ the Momo ITR its wears out quickly. Sorta cheezy material, but then again, I have mine like 3 years or so. Greasy fingers can ruin upostery

ic! I guess I'll just keep my stock wheel for now. I just can't justify getting one for the sake of being different

lame.

the difference is they only have 3 spokes. that's it. they don't have better grip, they aren't smaller, and they don't look any better in my opinion. people get them for their "JDM"ness.

i think the JDM ones are tight. The USDM ones are hidiously ugly. America always F's up sick *** things. I think the grip is almost the same except the fact theres no indents for your fingers on the top. i dont know... personal preference i guess.

I've got one, and the are in fact better, anyone who tells you otherwise obviously doesn't have one. And if they did/do, they're opinion is obsolete.
