    Not yet, I have the wheel but not the airbag. Next time I have to switch the power off to work on it I plan to test fit the wheel. The factory wheel looks a bit big and clumsy, this is just a little less big and clumsy imo, but I like the 360 wheel even less so it just looks completely out of place, so it's the only alternative I like that keeps the airbag. I'm not really willing to give that up. I'll take pics when I play around with it but it'll probably be a while.

    The 550 steering wheel is supposed to be 365 mm in diameter. I am very curious how big it is in comparison to the OEM 4 spoke 355 wheel… an earlier post on this website that’s supposed to be much larger with some people claiming even 380mm !

    Yes it might be a good choice because you can still have the airbag functionality, it might look slicker when the wheel is black.

    Nice interior, especially the seats. Customs or from another car?

    Doesn't look bad, refreshed the interior to a more modern style.
    I found the pic on Facebook, don't know the owner but he probably hangs out here.

    So I found a NOS 308 hub. Same as the one you have. Does not work on 355’s as the 355 has a keyed splined. Also, the 110mm base is a few mm too big for the 355’s steering column. Mission failed. However, I was able to use the leather wrapped ring that comes with it over the Hill Engineering adapter. It’s not perfect, but could be with an adapter with a slimmer base (ex. Mtecnologia).

    I’m going to assume you ditched the rear hub to install on your 348.

    This is the Hub still available to Superformance covered with leather.
    Give the possibility to install 2.7 steering wheel without airbag instead of the big one 5.2
