    Steering Wheel Experts: Custom Modding one?

    OK, in looking at different steering wheels and trying to decide what tickles my fancy, I was wondering how easy/hard it would be to have a different rim put onto spokes? Like taking a factory wheel and putting on a smaller diameter rim and having it re-fomed and recovered? Are the rims typically welded to steel inner spokes, or aluminum rims to alum spokes, or are they afixed some other way? Anyone have wheels that are torn down they could show photos of?

    Thanks!

    Most leather or wood-rimmed aftermarket steering wheels have the rim covering fitted to a one-piece 'framework' - ie the rim & spokes are made from a single piece of aluminium.
