Aftermarket Steering Wheel?

I seen these posted on the gravana website



just wondering if that steering wheel would fit on my 2.2 cobalt cpe...? if so... would it be hard to install? and has anyone installed a different steering wheel on this kinda car?

Dont do it! That is an instant void of your warranty. Most likely you will get a airbag light come on too. Dont mess with anything to do with the airbag.

I would not worry about the warranty but I would be worried about the lack of a airbag. If you do it be sure to wear your belt.

If I were to put a racing steering wheel in, I'd also be sure to put in racing sets with 4 point racing harnesses for safety....that's just what I would do though. A normal seat belt will not help that much in a crash without an airbag. I guess, it WILL stop you, but so will the steering wheel after you slam your face on it.

Nobody knows because nobody has done it. I suspect it is a pain in the ass. Post if you get it done though, because I would like to do it some day.

HOLY THREAD REVIVAL! Instead of starting a new one? Anyone have any info or pics of aftermarket steering wheel in a cobalt. With respect to steering wheel controls, i dont care about the radio side, replaced stock headunit, lost controls of the radio, oh well, i will just reach down. Cruise is a problem tho. Is there a way to retain cruise with an aftermarket wheel?

I have contacted Grip Royal about their steering wheels. Of course it would have to be a custom adaptor haha. Other than their steering wheels I haven't seen any I really like
