Why without airbag? It's still going to look the same...

And you may be interested in a GLI steering wheel... IMHO it's nicer. It's leather wrapped, and looks the same, it just doesnt hav the "R line" logo on the bottom...

With the airbag, you typically pay $1000 for this wheel. I have a 3-spoke wheel so I can reuse my airbag. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the GLI wheels have the same ergonomic shape. I think they're just perforated.

W/o the airbag you can get this R32 wheel for $380 new. I'd like a used one if possible. Preferably with the silver stitching.

R32 and GLI wheels are a world apart.

The R32 is much thicker and has ergonomic areas on the sides. It feels much better compared to the GLI.

I have the Seat Cupra wheel on my car, it is very nice. It is similar to the R32, just a bit thinner.

BVAMotorsports had one a while back, and it was price pretty fair.

Good info. It's the thickness I want...

BVA is actually out of R32 wheels at the moment, but might get another wrecked R32 soon. He charges about $300 I think.
