[justanotheradikt]

bump...does anyone know what hub i need?

Post a pic. I wanna see what you bought. I'm thinking of importing steering wheels myself.

The aftermarket steering wheel is the one that will come with the 6-hole bolt pattern. A Miata hub will work on the Protege column. May need to grind some corners in order to fit the airbag/horn contact swivel, but they work perfect.

have not bought one yet...well i got an msp wheel but i want something else...seeing what bolt i need to buy or what i needs to be able to mate up with.

was thinking something like hte rx7 "mazdaspeed" wheel design you can find on ebay. that or momo makes one i like.

awsome....any year miata or what?

One you have decided which aftermarket wheel to buy, the the hub will tell you if its compatible with the MOMO, Sparco, bolt pattern....most of them are the same. Normally the Miata hub they have for sale will say 98, at least that is the one I purchased.

You are right my friend...ARC titanium and Honda Civic Type R shift boot.

When dealing with putting a new wheel on, dont you have to cancel the airbag somehow? Was this a hard install to do?

I have always wondered about this also.
