I've been searching for the right steering wheel for my mazdaspeed... there are plenty of awesome aftermarket wheels out there, but my wife is weird about me not having an airbag. I talked to a friend that had Dallas custom steering wheel do a d cut wheel for his 370z a few years back, but they told me that they don't offer that service. I have been unable to find a shop that can do it for me through a Google search, but have found photos of other cars that have had it done.
I can't imagine that it could possibly be too hard to do in all honesty. I have a leftover Nardi oem wheel from my old nb in the basement collecting dust, and I'm considering taking the initiative to cut it up and create my own d shaped wheel from it. I'll obviously have to have a professional recover the wheel afterwards, but if I can find someone willing to re-weld it together for me, I have no doubt that I can make the modification happen easily.
Does anyone see any pitfalls (other than possibly destroying an old wheel, and the possibility that it won't be quite as strong as before?) I think I can fix any strength issues by welding the wheel back together, and then welding a sleeve over the welded section as well.
It's late, and I need more stuff to do to my car
