I have NRG short hub and v2.0 quick release. With Personal Neo Grinta 330mm.
I like it, changes the feel of the whole car haha. The airbag light will stay on, but I found a way around that... sort of

older pic with the wheel on..

It's pretty clean, as far as installation goes, but I'm thinking of getting rid of mine.

The release mechanism is a bit annoying to find during release, and there is some minor play in the wheel due to the quick release. The short hub is fine, but the 2.5 ver. quick release leaves something to be desired.

The difference between 2.0 and 2.5 is the 2.5 has little flares to make it easier to take the wheel off. That's it I think.

You need a hub regardless, bud. The quick release can't mount directly to the splines on the steering column. And without some sort of custom adapter plate, you won't be able to mount a steering wheel to a short hub. In essence, I'm saying that you need both the short hub and a quick release to mount the steering wheel properly.

yeah thats exactly what i meant, so basically and size either a 2.0 or a 2.5 hub with a quick release will fit my em2 correct?
