The airbag is the same but the spokes are not,
well, sort of, the side spokes that have the buttons are the same size, but the bottom spoke is different, and it would look dumb with the 2 sides in silver and the bottom in black, So you will also need a set of M buttons and trim, I don't personally think that wheel is a good deal or price

I believe one member of the forum bought a new M wheel with MFSW and spoke covers for around the same price from Tischer. The one he bought had black stitching not the multi color unit, but if stitching is not important to you, I would rather buy the one from Tischer.

I can't explain why they sell one wheel for double the price of the other but get whichever one makes you happy. The installation is quite easy and takes less than half an hour with no special tools. Just remember to disconnect the battery before you begin to keep all the airbag lights from coming on when you swap the airbag over.

heres a DIY for swapping over an M wheel: http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79735
by the way, the MFSW buttons are the same part number and can be swapped over. I believe someone above had said you need the M buttons, but you do not. |
