you gotta remember that the new wheels don't have an airbag, which i know is something you blow off, but believe me, if there is an accident this is NOT the thing you want hitting, as they are ALL really hard, and also, if you dont unwire the airbag right, when the airbag blows it could blow off the wheel. I think it's not a trade off thats worth it. why not just wrap our wheel n something, or decoration it some other way?
i had my "bad wreck" and my bag didnt deploy...check out my car domain page and see what i mean if you dont believe me...but i understand how an airbag would be better...its certainly something to think about before you just up and put a new wheel on

I believe you, airbags can be an IFFY thing, sometimes they deply sometimes they don't, it all matters about how the crush sensors are affected. Also, maybe the speed of the accident wasn't high enough for it to deply. Either way, i would not risk it.
yea, its not something i was going to run out and buy, i was just curious. id rather not risk my life on something as simple as an airbag...thanks for bringing it to my attention though.

just to give my 2cents..I had a 96 sentra and was in a bad wreck...the guy hit me in the fornt passager side so hard it nearly ripped the engine out and if it wasnt for the airbag i'd probably be dead...i wont mess with the wheel IMO
I look at it this way: I drive older cars all the time and none of them have airbags,so in removing the bags, I am not really increasing my risk any more than I am by driving one of my old cars.Just wear your seatbelt and that is usually enough.
P.S.I have not removed the airbags in any of my cars but aI did disconnect them in my truck when the airbag light was binking.I didn't have the money to have it looked at, so I pulled the fuse and it stayed on.I had an accident after that which caused 6k in damage to the truck and almost destroyed the car I hit.I was fine and walked away from the accident and no airbag deployed.

I put on a momo racing steering wheel on my 95 nissan truck, If you do get a racing wheel have it put on by someone who knows what they are doing, You have to disconnect the airbag correct or it could mess up things, I like my momo steering wheel but I think back on it and would rather have an airbag, I did get in a wreck I was rear ended but I walked away, By the way my steering wheel was $129.95 plus shipping, When I get some money I am going to get the momo seats that are about $800 for the pair! Thats gonna look good,
Just my 2 cents

ya my air bags went off in my car in 15mph collision. the airbag fuked up my windsheild.
im looking at steering wheels. now all i find are momo steering wheels.
