Hi everyone! Hope your all keeping well during the pandemic! A quick bit of advice.. I have a late blob wrx sti with the sti black 3 spoke steering wheel, I’ve purchased a standard wrx with the Subaru symbol


blob/hawk steering wheel off ebay and plan on getting it refurbed cause my car is my daily and the place I’m sending it off to is quite a way from where I live.. Can I do a straight swap and will the sti airbag fit the wrx wheel if I swap them over?
Thanks!

 

yup same wheel all interchangeable

 

I used edge automotive interiors for mine and was over the moon with it , was 175

 

Thanks guys!

 

Damn that looks nice. I have used royals before for a BMW wheel but that looks bit tighter and neater.

 

wouldn't use royal now after not getting back to me after many emails, Facebook messages and even managed to get there mobile number from a previous customer and they didn't even reply to that ,,, edge were great right from the start and did three wheels for each of my subarus and each one turned out great ,, they even recovered the centre of a classic wheel for me to match in with the rest ,,, iv just brought another subaru so will be getting them to do that one soon aswell

 

Recently had a facelift classic momo wheel done by royal steering wheels and was spot on, quick turnaround. This was pre-coronavirus though so maybe they are struggling at the moment

 

I had my wheel done by royal
Half leather,half alcantara
spot on

 

this was long before the virus was even around so nothing to do with that

 

Mine was done in September time, took about 2 weeks

 

 

Does the alcantara wear quite quick or has it been ok?

 

its was OK in impreza in picture and also in new car but neither are driven that often.
as long as your hands are clean it was fine.easy to clean too

 

think I prefer my way around as the leather on the sides matches the centre lol ,, could see why you would have it this way around though as bet it feels better

 

Surely the point of alcantara is its grippy, putting it where you don't hold the steering wheel seems pointless.
It doesn't wear that bad really most people mistake wear as it just being dirty.
that said if the car was in everyday use I wouldn't bother with alcantara at all

 

Yet to really drive with this one as track stuff has been cancelled but also done by royal


exactly same spec as impreza one as I liked it so much.
next time I may go full alcantara

 

yeah I get that but I still think mine looks better lol

 

looks over function.....
But you own a hatch
That's confusing
But seriously I can't fault anything about it.

 

it can't always be about function , some time you just have to do things because you want them lol ,, and a lot depends on where you put your hands ,, full gangster lean and hand on the top of the wheel

hatch is gone now to it new home further up north and still going strong

replaced the hatch and the classic rally car with two blob sti's and a type R so im back in the laggy 2.0 ,, to be fair I love them all
