steering wheel advice needed

hey all,

i have the white 96

going for a red/white theme outside and a black red theme inside.

looking to replace the steering wheel as mines looking a little tired

any suggestions on where to look for steering wheels? i.e what fits good etc

thanks

red white theme outside, like the Starsky and Hutch look ?

You can get hundreds of different steering wheels and many different price points

Have a look at Garage Whifbitz website on here or Demon Tweeks

the cars white, wheels are white lenso raiden red stripe, want the supra rear badge to be red, not quite starsky and hutch as good as it may look

will take a look at them, most of them pretty much straight swap?? sorry to sound o so new to this

with the correct wheel boss most of the wheels can be made to fit

Think you will need a boss kit to change the steering wheel to a aftermarket one, thats if your car doesnt already have one on

but im sure if im wrong i will be corrected.

Dam beat me to it !!

oh my god im soo new to this i need a crash course!! hope you lot arent getting annoyed, bare with me ill get there

just looked on demon tweeks and theres a few good'ns, would they literally be buy, remove and replace or do i need extra stuff etc??

thanks jim, its the stock black leather steering wheel so assuming ill need one

No problem, then you will need a boss kit.

as far as i know if you buy from demon tweeks, they should recommend a boss kit to go with the wheel , or so they did when i last looked

you will probably need to take it to a garag of somesort to get ot changed as its pretty tricky to change it yourself.

Im new to the steering wheel scene aswell so im sure i will learn a thing or 2.

Leather TRD airbag steering wheel would be my choice, although they are discontinued now so difficult to find.

Nic, Wow, I bet that would cost a pretty penny if anyone could find one.

Have a look through the traders websites and places like Demon Tweeks for a wheels. Sparco, Momo and issotta (sp?) are very good makes.

Second to the TRD wheel, get a RAV4/celica wheel from 2001-2005 from a scrap yeard. Get the cheap plastic one and get it upholstered in the colour you want. You will have something very close to the TRD one and can be done cheap if you are lucky. The airbag is expensive from Toyota though. Alternatively you can get a coverplate from Toyota as well for half the price of the airbag...

Sorry for the not too focused pic:

thanks so much for the advice, the trd one looks great and would suit mine as have trd badges on the engine, dash, rear wing etc, will have a look for one if not ill look at demon tweeks again
