Default R8 and RS6 steering wheel

I know the TT steering wheel i smuch thinner than the Euro Rs4 one, but does anyone know if the R8 or new RS6 wheel would fit and if they are as thick.
I am asking because both of these wheels seem to have the audio and radio controls that we lose with the Euro RS4 wheel.
As rare and expensive as they must be, has anyone done this yet?

Thanks

Ask Liam - I think this question was asked before but I can't remember what he said.

Default R8 steering wheel is the same as TT...

RS6 Wheel would be the closest you can get at this time, well in a few months, to a wheel with the correct airbag, thickness and the flat bottom with MF controls. However it has tip paddles mounted to the back of the wheel.

Default As Liam said...the TT wheel is the same as the R8 wheel.

...and thats not it....the taillights, gas filler cap style, mirror blinkers, seats, wheel, ventilation controls and even the TT etching in the turn signals...are all very very similar/identical to the R8...

After talking to several people at Audi corporate and a head designer at AoA...the Mk2 TT in Sline trim (DeSilva designed this, like the S5)....is the most forward thinking model in AOAs minds along with the R8/S5 in Audi's line up reguarding there design lineage and the future of Audi going forward.

...yea thats a bit more info then then your steering wheel question...but just wanted to share....cheers.
