Any Pics of 06 wheel ?
Here is a picture of the steering wheel from Honda's website:




It is the same as the 04 and 05 and you have an 05? Now the airbag is differant.
Personally, I like:

1. how the middle part is more pronounced (e.g. the 2 round rings in the middle of the airbag where the H sits on sink in more)

2. the fact that the H is like a regular emblem (e.g. it doesn't look like those tacky aftermarket emblems with "colored" background with glossy finish on the top)

3. the dimples on the side of the airbag

Are the 04 and 05's the same thickness as the '06?

I test drove an '03 before I bought my '06 and noticed immediately that the '06 was MUCH thicker at the 3 and 9 positions. This made for a much better feel of the car IMO.

Yes, the steering "ring" on the 2006 is the same as that of the 2004/2005.

Oh yes, with all the 06 owners chiming in to defend their steeringwheels, all these responses are totally unbiased.. not

I personally liked the steeringwheel that was on my 01 in comparison to the 04-05 or the 06. The perforated leather portions on it made it look FAR more sporty. The 06 version just looks like a half-baked upgrade to the 04-05 which I don't care for either.

Tilt wheel would have been nice, since it's a little tight getting in. Did any ModYear get this option?

Oh great, another point of contention for the AP1 vs. AP2 war! Now the AP2 side can have 2 factions with the '06 radicals coming out. You and your fancy VSA and new leather seats.
