You have to take the front cover off of your stock wheel, and that wheel. Take a 15mm? socket with an extension, and undo the bolt on the steering column inside the wheel, slide the wheel off, then slide your new one on, assuming its the same hub, then put the bolt back, then put the cover back. And dont forget the horn wiring, also before you do this, drive the car down your driveway and get it driving straight, this will fix any steering wheel alignment issues you had.

The splines on the hub are probably alittle different. I guess you could try to torque down the nut alittle more, otherwise, I dont guess theres much you can do.

you are right....

I have the bolt on really tight so that the wheel doesnt move or pop off....

I dunno...I think I'm gonna return it to the guy... I dont trust this wheel...

It sure does look nice though.

Make sure you take that little black plastic thing out that kicks the turn signal off out.

Once you do that then it fits like a glove.

I can take some close up pics to show you if you need. But I will have to take the pics tomorrow and upload them on Sunday.

Gotta work on my car tomorrow and my computer at home will not allow me to load pic(Not setup)

tried removing the black peice. but the wheel turns freely ! You need the black peice in order to turn the wheel
I am gonna return the wheel... It doesnt fiit 100% and I dont wanna take chances... I'll just settle for a smaller Momo wheel.
