I now have a solid wood (zembrano) steering wheel, very much brings out the wood in Helga while keeping in line with the sedan feel. The only thing i dont like is having to actually bendmy head to see thru the wheel to gages. I didnt think it would pass inspection either, but she has 5 times in 5 years...I still have the orig wheel though.Its for sale...
