    Is there a difference between the 2- I know some 2.7s came with an non-airbag wheel but would a 2.7 wheel with an airbag fit a 5.2 car no problems?

    I’m not aware of any physical differences between any of the 355 airbag wheels... except none of them likely work anymore. :D

    my 95 is the same as my 97 and is the same as my friends 99...

    You would think there would be at least some decent cores on ebay. I'd keep looking vs recovered. I've got a pretty decent extra one, but I would only sell with the airbag of course. From a 2.7.

    I know they can't be trusted...but I can't recall the last time I've seen a 355 at copart or similar where the airbags hadn't popped when it looks like the impact warranted it.

    I have a 5.2 wheel that has been recovered with Australian Kangaroo hide. It's awesome. I'm happy to post as I have sold my car. It's just sitting in my Garage. It only looks different were the original horn impressions are not there.
