    Default [WA] Steering Wheel

    Hey guys/girls, I need a new steering wheel to pass road worthy on Friday, Just wondering if them steering wheels from Super Cheap are allowed? Or if they are Australian Standard etc etc. Cheers

    im not sure about steering wheels ect, but it might have an aus standard sticker on it?

    if not just ask at your local supercheap or depending which state your in, give your rta a call.

    cheers.

    Is the one you have on now after market? Or what's wrong with it? I highly doubt they will pass you with a super cheap wheel. I don't think steering wheels are allowed to be hard, or they have to have some kind of padding, something like that.

    yeah i might head to the wreckers thursday and see if they have one. The people at the inspection place failed me for a slippery steering wheel grip (like the grip twists on the skeleton of the wheel) so yeah wasnt too sure what to do. I will probably just go the stock one at wreckers so i dont look like a ricer with a 80 dollar steering wheel. Cheers,
