    Fixing up a 2008 Prius that's in my possession and the steering wheel is worn and peeling. I was figuring i could replace it with a nicer aftermarket one from japan. I've read some threads and I know they make them, just do the know where to buy.

    Are any of the rakuten steering wheels confirmed to fit?

    If just the circular grip is fading/peeling but the rest of the wheel, buttons, etc. are okay, then getting a steering wheel cover would be a comparatively inexpensive fix.

    True, I don't like the way the leather wheelskins fit. Maybe just a standard wheel cover that fits the prius odd wheel shape.

    damn, I like it! if I wasn't a cheap sob, I'd order it, but I suspect the shipping might be steep.

    yea those all look good but myself i have a 07 prius looking to change the steering wheel to an after market nrg steering wheel and hub adapter to take off the wheel .... but i think if i took the wheel off for the one im gonna put the triangle of death would pop up because the wires wouldnt connect to anything at all what do you guys think ??!! the steering wheel would be a nrg wood grain steering wheel that i would love to put into the car ( just incase you guys were wondering which steering would be) i will probably just get it and let you guys know how it goes next month or i will ask a buddy of mine thaat knows his stuff in the prius
