Default 5 bolt removable steering wheel hub?

I've been wanting to have a removable steering wheel hub for some time now.
Problem is... I have a 5 bolt steering wheel.

If I weren't so attached to my little wheel (it was a gift) I would have just sold it, but I think I would turn into an emotional wreck if I had to let go of it. I have seperation anxiety.

So, the point is; is there a way, short of re-drilling my steering wheel, to get a removable hub to fit, or does anybody know of a company that makes 5 bolt hubs?

GetNRG.com has them. I ordered mine through a dealer on ebay. The quick release is nice. I haven't used it for that long to see how durable it is, seems fine though, overall I am happy with it, just make sure you get the short hub for it as well.

Thanks!

I think Grant makes a 5bolt hub, no?

Here's what I did back in the day. I got a flat plate(12 or 14 guage) about 1/8" thick. Cut in the shape of a donut (not to go past the bolt circle of your wheel) then drill holes to match up to your existing 6-hole hub. Drill and tap the corresponding holes for the 5-hole wheel in the same plate. It should look something like this:

yeah I thought of that. But my fabricating skills aren't that good to make it look nice. Plus I don't have any suitable equipment.

I'm not even going to bother if I can just go out and get a 5 bolt snap off.
