The CTR will work with some modification. No idea about Accord ones. Airbag plug will work fine on the CTR.

I'm gonna have to figure out how my friend's car had a CTR wheel in it, which then went into an EK after he took it out. I'm about 99% positive the previous owner didn't swap out the steering column for a steering wheel he could easily get for the stock column. If they aren't compatible, that shouldn't be possible.

its most likely a ITR JDM wheel if it fits a DC2 spline. keep in mind that the SRS JDM wheel from a CTR and ITR look identical except for the spline piece. CTR wheel or anything from a EK will not fit a DC2 spline. i second that response, if you still wish to argue wait and see what more people think... just my .02 cents

Just unscrew the hub, turn it 90 degree and screw it back. Done.

That isn't the only difference. The DC steering column is a different size from the EK column so the mounting hole in the hub is also a different size. The only way to install an EK wheel into a DC is to either switch columns or cut up the hub of the wheel which does not sound like a good idea.

I recently drove my friend's car with a JDM non-SRS wheel, and I like it a lot. I prefer that wheel to any aftermarket wheel I've used because its a good size, looks semi-stock, and the feel of the wheel is nice. I like the leather feel as compared to deep corn or suede.

I plan on picking one up here in the near future as the USDM wheel is just too large, and the JDM SRS wheel is barely smaller. I believe its 390mm for the USDM, 380mm for the JDM SRS and 360 for the JDM non-SRS.

cool. but wut about that whole 'safety issue' thing without the airbag? how much protection does the stock airbag give you in a frontal collision? i mean...most itr owners drive their caRs on public roads atleast sometimes right?

Correct. Where is the best place for me to purchase a JDM ITR, not CTR, but a JDM ITR SRS steering wheel from? Used or new?
