Personally i prefer the 4-spoke from the 4-door LX...i like to hold the lower spokes while i am driving. What do u guys think?

Aftermarket. Why not? We're about the only Honda owners who can actually make decent use of aftermarket wheels. (because we're non-SRS)
An aftermarket steering wheel was one of my favorite mods. I actually just bought a different one today.. :) Good bye Grant, hello Lonza. :D

Theres something about factory (junkyard) parts that i like so much...i donno why. Maybe cause theyre cheap, high quality, plus swapping them around makes me feel like a real Honda engineer :iceslolan

Well IMO aftermarket streering wheels are gay. They look dumb (most of them, some can be tasteful) and I think they are kinda ricey. I personally like the 3 spoke from Si's, I picked one up today :)

Definately an aftermarket one.....smaller and more comfortable, plus they look so much better

Huh? Ricey?! How? They're small, and they make driving fun.. Even more like a go-kart. The leather is delicious, and most of them are a bit shaped, so they're super comfortable.
I'd never go back to a factory steering wheel on my car. They're huge and not soft. Blah!

Only reason i got mine was because it was smaller and i am 6'3 and my legs had no room at all, so i got a smaller steering wheel for comfort...not for looks.

I'm diggin' the aftermarket steering wheel. Although, since I got the machined aluminum hub, my horn doesn't work anymore... gonna have to figure that out.

Man, I sure dont miss that barren wasteland shown in the background of your pic.
I like aftermarket wheels, because they are nice to use. But I also like OEM, because, OEM looks nice too. :)

Aftermarket steering wheels look and feel a lot better than stock. Stock is big and clunky looking. New steering wheel is one of my favorite mods.

If you have an aftermarket steering wheel, than you might as well paint your interior.

Okay, for some reason this topic is always at the top for me, I think its a sign that I must respond.
I don't see how a steering wheel is the same as painting your interior!? :confused: Steering wheel is mainly functional, its smaller and more comfrotable.. Its like buying better seats. Painting your interior is cheap and purely for asthetics.

I just think they look really ricey and stupid. Its just my opinion. I've never seen an aftermarket wheel that I like, they just look dumb. Like the ones that show the bare metal in the middle......it looks so dumb.
But what I really like is, my new 3 spoke Si wheel that I put in my car today :boink:

I agree that a lot of aftermarket steering wheels look ricey, BUT the stock wheels suck big time. Leather steering wheels rule. Plastic blows. I have had a Momo Monte Carlo on my car for about 100k miles and I still like it although it's showing its age. It has black spokes with black leather and you hardly know it's aftermarket with my black interior. The reach to the turn/wiper switches is perfect and the adapter allows the horn and turn signal cancelling mechanism to work just like stock.
My old Mustang had a plastic wheel and I hated it. I couldn't do anything with it due to the cruise control however.
