Default Fitment of US-spec RS4 wheel and airbag...

I know someone had installed a flat bottom euro wheel in their b5, but what about a US spec RS4 wheel (with airbag)? Will that be a direct bolt-on? Anyone know or know where I can find out? Thanks!

obviously its personal preferance... however, its the one thing i hate about the b7... its just such an ugly wheel to me... it doesnt fit in that interior, and i definitely think it wouldnt look good in b5's. you have car thats well done, and looks great dont kill it with that... but in the end its yours so obviously do what you wish with it...<ul><li><a href="http://coolcars.blogsome.com/images/0608_z+2007_audi_RS4+cabin.jpg">http://coolcars.blogsome.com/images/0608_z+2007_audi_RS4+cabin.jpg</a</li></ul>

Default thanks, I appreciate your opinion. I didn't like the B7 wheel AT ALL at first either, but

they have kind of grown on me.. the euro version (flat bottom wheel) is awesome, though, you have to admit

my friend stopped by my place with a white one, and its the first thing that jumped out at me... its just not for me... i like it that its race inspired and all that jazz, however its just not for me.<ul><li><a href="http://i19.tinypic.com/4kvf2b5.jpg">http://i19.tinypic.com/4kvf2b5.jpg</a</li></ul>

Default It will bolt up to the steering column, but as for the airbag, there is only one way to know with

100% certainty that it works..........

Im not willing to be the guinea pig, nor am I willing to take a chance.

Im not a big fan of the wheel any more. I've bought a spare B5 steering wheel that I plan on getting re-covered with Air Leather at some point.
