Held one of those - I really liked it! Except for the badge, very similar but just thicker

Default Looks like the badge is the same side as the S4 badge...
But does the wheel work, could I swap the airbag with mine??? Anyone, anyone??

Considering a rebadged R32 wheel, too. That and recovered R32 seats... So Nice. Any attempts so far?

R badge is significantly larger than the B5 S4 badge... Similar shape, though.

I described it (R32) as "holding two bananas" - we laughed for a while on that ;-)

Default That would be nice... I might just buy one and see...
Perhaps a TT airbag would work, which would be vera-vera nice!!!

if you could swap the airbag, could you swap the airbag covers? (ie: ditch the vw logo)

Default IMO The R32 wheel is the best OEM wheel out there.
The S4 wheel used to be at the top of my list.
