Paint it? Get a new wheel? How much are aftermarket wheels and where do you order from? Hook me up with some pics of your wheels.

Performance: Stuff that makes my car run better or go faster

Looks: Stock because looks doesnt make my car go faster or run better

Weight Reduction: CF Hood, No A/C or Powersteering Accessories, No rear interior




I dont know but when I hear someone painting there steering wheel I think of running rice through the gasoline lines.....get a real steering wheel they would be probably from 100 to 225 for real racing ones

My e-brake handle is doing the same thing, it looks like ass. Jeff, go get a 3g steering wheel and slap it in there!

I'm sick of this shit. Anytime anyone gets something non-performance, this guy calls it worthless crap, rice, whatever. Dude, performance isn't for everyone. Chill out and appreciate what other people do with their cars and stop with the rice this and that. You aren't better than anyone else in here. It gets old seeing you call people out on rice or whatever just b/c they aren't asking about how to go fast.

and no, I'm not trying to start a flame up. It's just old. Super Street feeds a stereotype about how dsm's can't look good. It's against all rules and creed of dsm'ers, etc. NO! Cars that are fast usually don't look very good. They look stock. I don't like that. However, I'm not hating on these guys. YOUR CAR'S UGLY! or anything like that. I can appreciate the amount of work on those cars. I just wish people could appreciate what work is put into making some of these cars look good too. It's not always about being fast.

Honestly, I don't care what you think about rice, how cars should look, etc. If you suggest something worthwhile, I'll listen.
I just don't see the point of aimlessly preaching about how cars shouldn't have any focus on styling and should just be all performance; when you are posting in the interior/exterior forum. Just seems a little contradictive to me. Whatever floats your boat. Just try and appreciate the show scene a little more. Most of the show goers like fast cars too. Performance nuts should learn to like and respect the show scene just as much.

HMMMMM, 3g wheel huh. Got pics? Is it a direct swap? My ebrake is fine for now but the wheel looks like ass.

hehe.. well in theory it would be a direct swap but I dunno if anyone has tried it. There was a photoshopped pic floating around here somewhere.

that stratus wheel someone posted was nice. Just like ours, except perforated leather padding around the wheel on the sides. I think it was black and silver too. :) very clean.

Here's the P-shop pic I made a while ago when someone initially brought up the idea:



I don't think anyone has done it yet, but chances are it will probably bolt up. The question is will the airbag still work?



Here are the pictures of the Diamante VR-X wheel that would most likey bolt up and accept our own aribag:
