Default Want to change steering wheel, help.

I have a 1992 GSR and I find that the steering wheel a little big for my liking. I would like to get a smaller steering wheel but i don't want to move my cruise buttons if I don't have to. Does anyone know of a smaller Honda or Acura steering wheel that has the cruise buttons on it? What about JPM steering wheels?

Any help would be appreciated.

well i know that the stock 92 gsr steering wheel is not 13 inches. the bloody think is huge. if i had a 13 inch steering wheel with cruise on it i'd be happier then a pig in **** but it is huge! so has anyone changed steering wheels to a jdm one that is smaller but still has cruise in it? I thought about trying to put the cruise module onto a momo steering wheel to but i am not brave enough to try.

so basically i am screwed then? there is no smaller steering wheel with cruise incorporated in it? i have to basically buy a momo wheel (which i wanted to do) and migrate the cruise control to the dashboard somewhere (which i didn't want to do) ? is it possible to move the cruise control buttons to the dash? my mechanic said it is a lot of work because it isn't a wire running throught the steering wheel column but some sort of switch.

sure its possible to move the cruise contorl buttons to the dash, or anywhere in teh car for that matter.

but the fact is with something as important as cruise control i woudlnt ---- aroudn witht he module hacking it all up. i would just sepate hte module from teh steering wheel (this can be done with g3s steering wheel from wut i rememeber) and find a way to attach it to the momo wheel.

if i hadnt totaly ripped my cruise contorl module apart like an idiot when i installed my steering wheel i woudla done it myeslf.

ok cool. I'll talk to my mechanic and my buddy at concepts and see what exactly needs to get done, how hard is it and how much it will cost me. Thanks for the info guys.
