NOTE: the s2000 steering wheel does NOT fit our cars ! this thread will show why.
most of us here always wondered if the s2000 wheel would fit our cars with no major modifications. well now we can put this mystery to rest. i'm sorry to inform you all that it does NOT fit.
from my experience, i found out that the spline hole diameter on the stock wheel is smaller compared to the s2000. when i placed the s2000 wheel over the steering column the wheel was unable to grab the spines. it would just move around freely. though the hub depth is the same, the two cutouts at the end of the s2000 wheel hub is completely off by 90 degrees. however i found that the cruise control, horn, and srs wiring reel does fit into the hole of the s2000 wheel. only the horn can be wired in perfectly. the cruise and srs need some rewiring but can be made to work.
enough with the details. let's let the picutres speak for themselves.
here is a mock up of what it would have looked like in my cabin. it felt very nice since it's made of soft leather and is smaller in diameter (350mm) compared to the stock wheel. DANG it wish it would have fit!
the hole on the hub of the s2000 wheel is larger than the stock wheel. it was unable to grab the splines of the steering column. notice that the wiring reel was able to go through the wheel.
you can see the size difference here. it doesn't look like much but it sure does feel different.
this is the s2000 wheel. note the diameter size of the hub, the two adjacent holes, and the two cutouts...
...and compare them to the stock wheel. the cutouts are 90 degrees off. the adjacent holes are off too but this doesn't matter. the wiring reel goes in there and it simply rotates into place.
the s2000 wheel is surprisingly a lot lighter in weight than the stock wheel, with and without the airbag. i would think the leather would make it a bit heavier.
there you have it folks. i'm completely bummed out about this. it can work but you'll need a different steering column. as for major modifications, you can always weld the darn thing to the column or make an adaptor to mate the splines. you can also unweld the hubs and swap them over. i wouldn't recommend it since this is a vital part of your car's control. safety becomes an big issue.
from my conclusions, i can officially state that this wheel can only fit in OBD-II cars without major modifications. that's why it only fits 96-up accords, EK civics, 97-up preludes, etc.
