OK, Assdrave. :rolleyes:

You can just do some rewiring to a Radio Shack switch box if you want to retain cruise control. Or just do like the rest of us and use your foot to control speed. I did that all the way from Illinois to Colorado and back. It can be done. Makes for lots of boost-time. :D

Other than that, I have no idea which manufacturers make wheels with that already installed.

as far as I've seen (and I've done a lot of looking for steering wheels) there are no wheels that will let you retain cruise control.

However, if you get one of the momo wheels with the built in dual horn buttons (one on either side for each thumb), then add one of those sandwich plates with one or two buttons (to be used as horn/N2O), you could probably relatively easily wire something up yourself.

There was someone who did something similar on his S14, only he bought some generic radio shack switches and installed the CC buttons on the lower steering column cover; 3 buttons, some labor and patience I believe, was all it took. Your FSM wiring diagram (as well as looking at the stock CC steering wheel when it's been taken off) will help.
