Hey guys,
I"m looking into buying a JDM Steering wheel with the SRS. I was wondering if you guys can take a look at a few picks and let me know what questions I should ask and if it looks ok . Thanks again for the help!

 

looks like it needs some sort of hub to attach it to the steering column...make sure you get an ITR one.

 

it's missing the part that slides over the steering column. do not buy that wheel unless the seller has that part as well.

 

Whats the difference between a JDM one and an ITR one? Also can anyone else confirm that I need some kind of hub? thanks alot again!!

 

YES, you def need a hub!!!!

Stand by

This is an EK wheel. See how the notches are at 6 and 12? The ITR wheel, the notches will be at 3 and 9. Also the whole is a different diameter, the ek will be larger than the ITR.</TD></TR></TABLE>

It is almost impossible to find a hub by itself, if the seller does not have the hub I wouldnt buy it!!!

YEP, just to *****....... I wouldn't by that wheel without a hub neither. How desperate are you for one of those wheels?

 

It is junk without a hub, especially an ITR one.
STAY AWAY from this one!

 

If you wont buy it I will let me know.

 

You need the hub, you're just pissing your money away if it doesn't have it.

If you are the seller/owner, please confirm whether or not it has a hub.
If it doesn't, WOW your pretty proud of a wheel that can only be used for parts.


EDIT: I am doing my best to give you the benefit of the doubt, but if you are selling that wheel w/o a hub, you need to say so in your Ebay auction. I have had the unfortunate experience of purchasing many JDM wheels and only 2 were as advertised... worth buying.

Comp who hates people who mislead potential buyers.

Looks like he edited his auction. It was a Buy It Now auction on the 23rd for $325.

Thats good. I hope the people bidding on that auction have goods eyes and ask the right questions.

 

I forgot to thank everyone for the advice .. Honda-tech members came through once again

 

small OT, but if anyone out there stumbles on a YELLOW-STITCHED jdm itr srs one like the above, PLEASE let me know and drop me a line. for the record, i wont even need the hub

btw, i guess the seller in that auction does have the hub. he just posted a PIC of it. just have to make sure its for a dc2, NOT an ek...but im sure you'll find some to trade if its for an ek. the ek ones are way rare.

 

yea i was looking at that ad too and I asked the guy to put up the pic of the hub. luckily he put up such a great pic that one couldn't tell if its for the ek or dc2. i guess i'll ask. been looking for a decent one of these for a while.

 

I can't believe he added such crappy pic of hub and no idea what we asking for but he does claim it fit his 97 GSR for just 1 week. Good Luck!

just a thought....

wouldn't you be able to use the stock hub off your original steering wheel? im definitely unsure of the mounting points.... but this possibly opens doors for swapping stock steering wheels

NO! I wish life was that simple.

 

You know, that hub even looks incomplete.

The stock one is welded on. The JDM is 4 bolts. The hub looks ok, but the seller needs to take a pic of the other side to know for sure.....
