I reached out to Ledermanz to see what my options would be, but he does not do heated steering wheels. All I'm looking for is something a little thicker than the base steering wheel.

From what I understand the airbag from the base wheel only fits the base wheel. If I buy the wheel sans the airbag, I cannot swap my bag over. All of the ones listed on ebay are single stage airbag, and I don't want to mess with airbag system. I don't mind swapping it from one wheel to another, but I want to keep the two stage setup.

Are there any other options out there other than dropping over $1000 at the dealership?
Start with post #35 here...

Been there, done that, have the better steering wheel!!
