Default It fits but...

The wheel is thinner than the RS Multi-function wheel and it requires the use of a TT or R8 airbag. No guarantees that the airbag will work properly if it's ever needed.

Default I dunno, looks nothing like the R32 steering wheel to me but to each his own.

I am not planning to get this, was just curious. I am getting a suede euro wheel.

2nd, I like the look of the Euro wheel but I won't give up the phone and volume controls.

Default No, but have researched the connections and it seems everything will line up (electronics/airbag)

Pricing is $650/ea without airbag.

will the steering wheel be stitched in silver or black? I like the silver but not the "S3" plaque....

Default What I would like to know is.......

Why DOESN'T the Euro wheel retain the entertainment controls? What possible benefit is there to omitting them? Personally, I think this is real design flaw. I use these controls a lot on the fly...much more often than the "S" button.

Default another intesting thing noticeable in your 2nd photo....

...is that the center hole appears to be in a different location. This could just be an optical illusion or the camera angle playing tricks, but it makes me wonder if the R8/TT wheel would actually seat in the correct location on the RS4 steering column.
