Anybody got some simplistic, black steering wheel suggestions? Provide pictures/links would be great. Good brands?

If you want to keep the airbag then you might look into a '98-99 steering wheel:
 That or from a 7th gen Celica:  Honestly in my opinion they look really good, you get a nice sporty wheel with good 9&3 as well as 10&2 grips, they're fairly inexpensive, and you keep the safety of having an airbag. So it's really hard to beat, especially if keeping the airbag is of importance. There's a write-up on how to do it on earlier cars here: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=44319 Of course PB ruined it...

Ahhh, I did have this one. It's in poor condition. The top of it has kind of worn and gone "thinner" than the rest of the wheel. Would eBay be my best option to look for entire replacement?
Thanks, Brandon |

Wasn't a fan of the roundness of it towards the center if that makes sense. I am really liking the 98-99 as it is flat in the center and doesn't have the emblem that sticks out as the 7th gen wheel does. |
