Are after market steering wheels illegal?
#2
if your came equipped with an airbag, and you removed it for an aftermarket steering wheel, yes it is illegal. If it wasnt equipped with an airbag, you can have a any wheel u want
if your airbag was deployed in an accident, and you replaced steering wheel with aftermarket ( no airbag ), you should be fine {can anyone confirm please?}

If airbag equipped get in an accident and do what you want...

i also remember a discussion once that if unfortunately you do get into an accident where the airbag could have prevented injuries to the driver, the insurance company can deny paying for the injuries sustained.
( applies only for cars that were initially equipped with airbag )

All vehicles after 1995 (i believe) were equipped with airbags as a standard
Removing an air bag eqquiped vehicles steering wheel to replace it wit an aftermarket wheel is illegal.
Insurance has the right not to insure you, insurace wont pay for injuries caused by this,
dealerships wont install the aftermarket wheel either for you if car was equipped with airbag
if vehicle was in an accident and air bag deployed it is still illegal to not put an airbag equipped wheel ESPECIALLY if insurance is paying for the replacements.
If cought by police and hey are hardasses they can tow your vehicle away for driving an unsafe car or atleast give you a ticket.
Getting a record like that can affect your insurance rates, insurance reputation etc... and not worth it.
Chances of getting caught by police is slim
Chances of gettin into an accident and air bag deploying is high (especially in the winter)
Chances of inurance not convering it is high too if you dont got airbags
so is it really worth it?
