    Aftermarket steering wheel in a urs6. Has anyone installed one?

    I'm trying to install a sparco r333 steering wheel in my 95 urs6.
    You obviously need a hub adapter to attach to the aftermarket hub but
    I can't find a company that sells one specifically for the audi 100/c4 platform.
    If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Never get in an accident with your non-airbag steering wheel. There will be no pay-outs for personal injuries to the driver because you removed a safety device that was provided with the vehicle.

    Your choice.

      Nothing wrong with a factory airbagged UrS6 wheel imho.

      Spend money and effort of something else, just saying.........

        My new wheel is already purchased and looks pretty good. It matches some alcantara bits in my interior.
        It also has a better feel to it than the oe urs6 steering wheel. If there are no hubs for my car I guess I
        could run the alcantara b5 rs4 wheel to get the look I'm after.

          Sorry but the B5 RS4 steering wheel was made for a different spline diameter than the UrS4 or UrS6 steering column. Get an UrS6 wheel recovered in alcantara if you must. At least it fits.

              Get one of those with the modified flat bottom. Suits the car nicely

                  I've got a three spoke grant in my urs4 that I chose over the s6 wheel because I prefer the smaller diameter. I could try and find a part number but it probably won't help with a sparco

                    I think I found the hub that work for the c4. Someone on motorgeek said to look for kits that are marketed
                    for the audi 200 or v8 models and that they will bolt up properly to the urS/c4 cars. They said it might just
                    require a little trimming of the steering column cover.

                      Alcantara is a horrible material for a steering wheel, after some use the wheel will start to look literally like a rats tail. Disgusting. Unless it's a race car and you wear gloves all the time, then it's fine.

                      I had to re-trim the wheel with proper perforated leather in my RS4 because the previous owner thought it'd be a cool idea to trim it with Alcantara.
