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.

ah is it 2cm that's ok didn't want it to foul the cruse controls..... what difference is there between the dc5 and the ATR wheel is the ATR same as prelude but momo (guessing 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.

is the ATR wheel still a straight swap? (same as in the guide?)

Yes I think so. Pretty crap looking wheel though imo.

dunno like the idea of a bit more girth to the wheel :-P
