steering wheel size

Post by davey80y » Thu Dec 12, 2013 5:24 pm

hey all,

looking to swap my balding steering wheel for something a little better, and that'll match my soon to be installed type s seats was just wondering if anyone had a comparison shot of type r steering wheels next to a prelude one? am I right in thinking that type R wheels are a bit smaller does cause a problem when retro fitting the cruise control buttons?

also are ATR gear knobs a straight swap?

There really isnt need to see side by side pics. You wont see a difference despite the DC5/ep3 wheel being 2 cm smaller in diameter and being a bit chunkier.

The Atr wheel is completely different in design.
The dc5 and ep3 wheel are identical. Even the mono wheel is the same but with a mono logo. The s2000 is also the same but without red stitching and different airbag design.
