Default VGS Steering Wheel

I use to have this balling picture of a JDM VGS Wheel in a S2000. I believe it came from an official Honda ad or homepage of some sort. It is a straight on shot of the interior, with the steering wheel obviously the focus. Does anyone have this picture still on their computers? The best pix I can find online now is only this:



Please help me out if you can find official pictures of the VGS wheel and post it here!

They show up on our for sale board now and then but they won't bolt right on to a us car. Different spline count.

I never understood why people wan't these wheels in general. The VGS model actually isn't that popular over seas anyway.

I know Puddy has converted a few for US cars...but it's not cheap. Lots of machine work.

OEM, airbag-compatible, flat bottomed steering wheel. Extra clearance for the long-legged drivers. I'd love to have a flat-bottom or small diameter wheel in mine, but I probably won't use my harness 24/7 on the street, so kind of a bad idea.

so why would it be a jdm only item?

usually european and americans are the fatter folks who would need the extra room.

especially the african brothers who's 3rd leg is generally...... fatter.

hahahaha
