    My opinion has always been the 355 spyder is the most beautiful car today. The interior fit and finish however fail to match its exterior curve appeal. What I dislike the most is the steering wheel. So I like to add a little more life to the inside and having searched the Internet, I found one that is pleasing to the eyes; the 550 bachata Maranello steering wheel. It appears to be an exact fit. Any of you gentlemen familiar with this, know of or have experience to prove my assessment is correct?

    Vary similar to the one you have pictured also in carbon fibre.

    Cost of the wheel plus I think about 800

    remeber you have to buy the airbag as well, they are not cheap!

    I fitted a 360 wheel and airbag to my 355, 15 minute job, straight swap and the wires for the air bag are the same as the old 355 wires, just remember to turn off the battery via the cut-off switch, when doing the swap.

    it one off the best changes i have made to the car, the 360 wheel feels great.

    You dont need to buy the airbag but I did. Someone on here installed one without and built a cover that looks factory.

    Do a search

    They did a pretty nice job as I recall.

    PhilB, the price is a little steep. I plan on keeping the original wheel.

    Taz that's a fair deal. Does he have one without the rib on the side and with a yellow ring?

    Its totally customizable. Talk with glenn and tell him I sent you.

    Hes very good at what they do. Lots of other stuff as well.

    If I recall I saved a few hundred because he had it in stock and used mine to build someone elses.

    Thats whats nice you can usually pick up a used or burnt 360 wheel that will still work and has damage way cheaper.
