Other than the leather how is it different? It looks like it is the same size based on the pics....what are the diameters? Other than thickness(going by what was said here) how is it different than the leather wrapped wheel on my HHR?


Also...how difficult is this to do? What tools are required?

There is about an inch or so difference in the diameter thickness i don't know i didn't have a leather one before, it is thicker that the plastic one though. tools required were Allen wrench to take the horn assembly off and i cant remember what size socket for the bolt holding the wheel on, and that's it.

 

13/16" socket will work perfect. Same wheel used on the Cobalts also. I put on a black leather one with radio controls from Cobalt in my 08 LS. 15 minute job.

 

Did the SS horn button come with your Steering Wheel? I like what you have done with your HHR.

 

No it didn't i just used my horn assembly off my old steering wheel. Thank you SO much for the compliment it means a lot.

 

Hey Man howd you get such a good deal on that steering wheel, Had my dad price one and he gets pretty good prices from the dealership and his cost was $261.00. Way to go on that price, looks good on your car

 

Thanks buddy, i got it off ebay from some guy parting out an SS he has a ton of stuff still, i wanted the SS seats but didn't have the money for them.

 

its about 1 inch smaller in diameter..the leather wrap gives it a thicker feel...going form my SS to her woody is almost a shock!!!

 

I gotta do that to mine! I really dislike the rubber wheel I have now!

 

I just found this thread. I really would like a smaller wheel on my HHR, also. From what I saw, the wheel is the same as several other GM cars and uses the same airbag. Does anybody happen to know which models that have a smaller diameter will fit? I want to start checking out the local junk yards. I figure on covering the rim with the Leather Glove kit like I did on my other wheel so that the condition of the rim doesnt matter.
