Is'nt the fr500 wheel considered aftermarket for our cars? Why is that one not retarted if all aftermarket wheels suck, or rice? Not sure I follow that line of reasoning.

Because it looks just like the stock wheel......



Not like something from The fast and the furious.

Nowhere did I say "all" aftermarket steering wheels are retarded or rice.

Gotcha! It looks a little fatter. Perforated leather grips. An improvement sure. I guess maybe I'm a 37 yr old ricer then. I like the Momo's etc. Like what U see in high end Italian sports cars. That is a nice wheel by the way..

If you're going to try and argue a point, don't:

1) call the person an idiot
2) use ****ty, weak points to prove your point of view

You call HOSS out, and then throw up this meaningless backup. If you're gonna call someone out, at least make an effort.

Your right I'm sorry! I'm the idiot I will go to my corner and cry now.
Hoss said anything added to a car that had no performance value was rice. The things I put in my post where things people add to there car that add 0 performance value but nobody considers them rice I said nothing about them being installed by the OEM on any cars

I like the look of aftermarket steering wheels on race cars, but on streetcars the thick steering column behind an aftermarket steering wheel doesn't look right. The stck steering wheel seems to flow down to the column. But to each his own just don't make me slap it on my car.

I agree, the guy's designing steering columns must have thought they'd died and gone to Heaven when the exploding¹ steering wheels were mandated.

---------------------------------------------
¹ - BTW, were you aware that airbags, disconnected from any power source and therefore virtually impossible to detonate, cannot be shipped vis USPS as they are considered "hazardous explosive material".

However the same government says it's OK for you to drive down the road with one 18" from your face and connected to a computer controlled triggering device...
