i wanna know who has aftermarket steering wheels on their tc's
how was the install
i know its illegal
has any1 goten away with it
if not
whats the penalty from the pigs

some dude that owns a shop told me its a federal offense for them to install aftermarket steering wheel unless its a track car
i was thinkin about nrg steering wheel
idk..is it worth the risk..no airbag or nice steering wheel

thanks

 

it is illegal, but it probably wouldn't be a primary offense, officer would only notice it once you get pulled over, and ofcourse, if your state has inspections on a regular basis.

and then, you know, heaven forbid, you should crash, and your aftermarket steering wheel fails to deploy, you like die or something, because you wanted to be cool and what not by removing safety equipment from your car. it is up to you whether or not risking your life and breaking the law are worth it.

 

i think the only people that have use it for show only? Dont see any advantages at all? Stock wheel is fine unless your wanting the F&F look?

 

x2. stock is just fine

 

no way, aftermarket ones turn like 20% more, and have like less rotational mass, and buttons for your two stages of nitrous, and a flat bottom for steering with your knees! you know, everything you need to be a terrific driver.

 

ah yes of course!! im such a for forgetting the nos buttons!!!

 

so why do you have to refer to police as pigs?

 

Stock wheel is one ugly bulky bastard

 

no respect, no respect I tell yea

after all they do for us

 

lol ya sorry but i dont respect ignorant people

 

its not that I dont respect them
just a street name

and thanks guys for your info
im pretty sure i wont install one..i was just curious
i rather stay alive and not get a ticket than "look cool" and even if it has 20% more rotation and nos buttons wooooo haha
well thanks again

 

Dumbest thread ever.

 

your an ___

 

i said a$$ but i guess SL has those words blocked
nice

 

Its you'RE an a$$ btw.
smart

 

Wow. That was slick.
You think your cool.
Continue to live in your landfill.

 

lets see how long this goes on before a mod locks this down...

 

 

The purpose of an aftermarket wheel is for true race track use. Off the track, there is no point.

A smaller wheel diameter means that you have effectively increased the steering response (since less hand movement results in greater turning). For track use, it can be useful. For street use, an competent driver should be able to compensate with our stock wheel. It's not THAT bad. And if it's really such a big deal, there are plenty of OEM Toyota wheels with airbags that can be rigged up to work.

But again, for all the super go fast naaaaaaaaaaaaaaws people. . . it goes hand in hand with the oversized wheels, big spoiler, and billions and billions of stickers.

 

Or for people who like a clean look. Ill take a four-point harness over an airbag anyday.
