He is referring to the FR500 steering wheel I'm assuming, and not the actual wheels.
And I saw the "new" GT500 rims in the chrome 17" variety on a 99+ body, and I've got to say, it looks ugly.
im still plotting on stealing it one day haha

Re: Cobra update..
Did you get the Cobra headlights from Summit? Need a part number if you have it handy to order replacements for my stock ones. Originals are quite frosty and have been cleaned once already.

I've never replaced a steering wheel that had/has an airbag. How difficult is it?

Phil has the same year car and recently ordered some. I'd like to keep the stock corners (already have a replacement set of those) to retain the stock look, which I personally prefer.When replacing the steering wheel with an airbag, it's the disposal of the existing propellant (solid rocket fuel) that can become a problem (can't ship without declaring it as "munitions" or something like that for UPS ground). Also need to replace it with a steering wheel with an airbag as it's considered safety equipment. The chop shop on MTV's Pimp My Ride got in trouble for that by replacing steering wheels with airbags with steering wheels with tv screens.
