Give Kurt a call at Rosso Corsa in FL. 1-561-747-2407
He has had the 360 wheel on a 355 and he said it will fit just fine. I dont know what Beverly Hills was thinking, maybe just didn't know it would fit and a easy answer is "no".
But give Kurt a call he can inform you on this. I do know he has a 360 wheel and airbag for sale might be able to get it for a good price.

I am not sure how honest these people were, but I spoke to F of Beverly Hills a few months back, asking if the 360 wheel would fit the 355, and they answered with a firm "NO."
You figure if someone was interested in a 360 wheel, they'd want to sell that person one (as I am sure they're expensive with a nice profit margin), but the person I spoke to said it definately wouldn't fit.
The reason all of this came up is because our car (a 95 F355 GTS we're fixing) had the air bag blown, and I knew of a dismantler with an excellent 360 wheel w/ airbag. I was interested in perhaps swapping, and decided to give the dealer a call. I spoke as if I would buy the wheel from them, yet they strongly discouraged me from trying this. As a result, I aborted the mission.
Perhaps you guys know better...but that's my story. I'd like to hear if this might actually be possible, or perhaps your people are just trying to make an expensive sale.

Hello All. If you would like to make this change I know of a shop who has a new 360 steering wheel and wants to sale it. The shop is Rosso Corsa in FL. They tell me the 360 wheel will fit a 355 no problem. He also has the airbag that you will need. Ask for Kurt. FYI.

I saw a F355 spider with a 360 steering wheel..
It seems nice , but i don't know how it feels and how it effects the driving. |

I changed mine on my 95 F355 to the Challenge steering wheel. Makes a big difference in how the car feels and looks so much better. You will need a steering wheel adapter from a challenge car. No one makes an adapter and the 348 adapter will not fit. |

Anyone here changed the standard steering wheel on a 355 for something a little smaller and sporty (ie/like the 360 steering wheel )???? Is it possible??? |
