Default Aftermarket Steering Wheel 96 Accord help!

I bought a wheel for my 96 Accord and the hub is too small
I got the hub from ebay (I know they are cheap) I do not have the money for an expensive hub or wheel so thats out of the question I am just wondering if anyone has a 96 with an ebay wheel and hub and who they got their hub from so I can get one that FITS! lol
I really like my wheel and would like to install it without spending an arm and a leg on a hub, because I cant afford it

SRK-130H is the adapter you want.

I would recommend pairing it with:

http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/...at=1572&page=1

That is what I used in my '96 Accord.

*edit*

Keep in mind, you are seriously risking your safety with those shitty eBay wheels and hubs. Also, if your SRS light is on the remaining part of the system (passenger airbag) is also disabled. You'll need to implement the 'fix' to have it function.

Then you should keep the functional stock wheel.

Simple as that.

that guy is bending the wheel it has nothing to do with the hub of the car, my wheel is not that cheap and it is not trying to rip off nardi or any other company I have had many aftermarket wheels just not in the honda my wheel is not the issue here I just cant afford a $100 hub for my car
I understand the cheap hubs are shitty, and I know I probably should not get one but I am and I'm wondering which one to get. I know many people get them and they turn out fine and I am wanting someone that has one let me know where it came from so I can get one.

Cheap wheel from eBay is going to be equivalent quality to a cheap hub on eBay.

I assume you bought a eBay branded 'universal' or maybe even an Accord one - but it didn't fit. What does that tell you about the quality of the actual material?

NRG hubs are actually on the cheaper side of things, if you go to the website you will notice there are quite a few other Honda models they fit. I purchased mine used from someone with a Civic IIRC for cheaper than $100.
