If these one thing i would change about the 05's is the steering wheel. To me it just dosent fit right.

The pic i attached is something more like it.

Something more sporty instead of that round thing in the middle, but i know they have to acomidate for the air bag.

What do you guys think

Does any one make an aftermarket one?

I THINK the '05 wheel is supposed to bring back memories of the first federally-mandated padded wheels, which appeared on the '67 Stang. It looked weird then- and does now, too. Fortunately, the rest of the '05 makes up for it, IMHO.

I actually like the way the wheel looks on our Mustangs. I think it looks a ton better than the wheels in the SN95s.

I like the wheel how it is. That mustang logo in the center is amazing. A lot better than the previous ones.....and my Ranger.

Because it dosent have the huge round thing in the middle, and i wanted to pick something with the three spokes for the originality.

I just wanted something with a little more spunk!

When you drive a BMW or AUDI, they feel better. Tighter and more sporty.

Infiniti FX steering wheel (style) on a mustang, no my cup of tea, my brother has an FX45 same steering wheel as pictures, its nice but not for a mustang it doesn't go along with the lines of the car,, I think the 05 Mustang Steering wheel is perfect, retro looking like the whole car.

Bimmers and audis are not mustangs, that is why our cars cost some $20k less. Now stop the complaining and go get your wimpy rice rocket.

WOW you got class. In my opinion the wheel just isn’t quite right, now a lot of you love it. that’s great more power to you, but i want something slimmer, just my personal preference.

BTW, Bimmers and Audi's are not ricers, there luxury cars.

They're not ricers they euros. Different continents there. Japanese cars=rice Eurpoean cars=euros.

Stock looks great. Go buy that aftermarket one. throw off the whole scheme of the car. Whatever you wanna do. While you're at it, toss some euro lights on it and some neon. That'd be neato.
