most of the smaller ones out there ARE aftermarket ones...momo and sparco make 'em...you'll have to get a hub for it though. try the detaching one with a key in it...that should work.

ditch the stock wheel and airbag and lose ten lbs.

350mm wheel is perfect even with manual steering.

Is your steering wheel so bad that you'd endanger yourself by not having an airbag???

Aside from legality issues and insurance issues, that is a major safety risk in the event of an accident.

ive been in two head on collisions in my 2000 civic coupe. it was dropped and both times my airbags didnt deploy.

what was the use of having them if they didnt even pop??? so now on my EG i am more likey to switch out the ugly steering wheel. from what i understand it was because of my drop and the way i hit the car is why my bags didnt depoly

I don't even have an Air Bag in my hatch. The accident I was in last year I'm glad the air bag didn't go off. Those things hurt like a bitch.

Momo wheels are nice, get one with a removable hub that way you can pop the wheel off. Theft deterant

Nice plug, but the wheel he is looking for is for the 92-95 Civic chassis. Your wheel does not fit.

If you want a really good wheel, that is moderately priced...Go with the MOMO Monte Carlo. The wheel is around $135, and the hub is about $45 bucks.

* * * note, the DC5-R wheel is a direct bolt in for 96+ Civics, but NOT for EG's.

If you want an airbag equipped wheel, the best option is a JDM (Integra) DC2-R wheel made by MOMO, direct bolt on for 92-95 civic and 94+ integras.
But if you have other safety equipment in place, or dont want an airbag... the MOMO Top Power in 350mm is soooooooooooooooooooo NICE! Especially paired with harnesses and a rollbar. The size is perfect, car control is much better and the wheel feels super good in my hands. No regrets. One of my favorite mods.
